4. The biggest lesson I’ve learnt about being married is that deal with your issues before they become someone else’s.

5. The advice I’d give someone who’s about to/considering getting married would be to marry their best friend.

6. Audiences keep returning to Married But Not To Each Other because of the quality in the comedy, the theme of the show and that they get to be a part of it through the Q and A session.

7. The thing that sets the show apart this time around is that we are more prepared for our audience interaction and our material has grown.

8. What I’m looking forward to the most on this tour is playing with new audiences.
