(Picture: Sarah Harry-Isaacs)“I was clearly quite addicted to men,” says Grace Campbell. So much so that the 28-year-old comedian’s new Edinburgh show, A Show about Me(n), is entirely inspired by her complicated relationship with the opposite sex. “I’m obviously not comparing it to a cocaine addiction or anything,” she adds with a laugh. “The whole point of the show is me realising that men are less important to me than I am.”
Now, Campbell has decided to take a break from the world of dating, adding, “I don’t need someone getting into my head.” But her history of craving male attention goes as far back as her school days: “when I was a teenager, boys really didn’t fancy me. But it made me want them even more. I told myself getting a boyfriend would increase my value and make me become an adult.”
