If you’ve read the title of this show, you pretty much know what it’s about.

Should I See It?

What Is Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating and Marriage Like?
Miss Abigail has a relaxed, fun vibe befitting the subject matter. The show clocks in at a little under 90 minutes, but you’re not just going to sit back, relax and enjoy the show: audience participation is a big part of this one. If you’re not interested in having your say, stay away from ab aisle seat; if you are, you could get a once in a lifetime chance to play a patented Miss Abigail game show like “Love, Lust or Stalking?”

Is Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating and Marriage Good For Kids?
In a word, no. Strictly speaking, much of the show’s content is relatively tame but love and sex aren’t usually standard children’s fare. Add to that the wild card of audience participation, and you never know what’s going to happen. Sexual innuendo aside, Miss Abigail is funny in a “we’ve all been there” kind of way, and youngsters folks simply won’t relate.
