After falling in love over FaceTime, Egyptian-American comedian Maria Shehata moves from Los Angeles to London. What unfolds is a modern-day romantic gamble that echoes her parents' own daring leap decades earlier, when they moved from Cairo to Ohio after an arranged marriage, only knowing each other for three days.


Maria swore she’d never follow that script—but somehow, she’s landed in a modern remix of it. Now she’s chasing her creative dreams and dodging cultural expectations —like the 2,000-year-old Coptic wedding vows, "For he is your husband, and to him you will submit,” that leave little room for modern interpretation.

Hailed by British Comedy Guide as “so effortlessly engaging, the audience would gladly take a half-hour encore,” Maria jumps between past and present, arranged marriage and creative chaos, that is heartfelt, honest, and hilarious.
