Haley McGee is a Canadian actor, theatremaker, improviser and author. Born and raised in Kitchener-Waterloo, at seventeen she moved to Toronto where she received a BFA in acting from the Toronto Metropolitan University and subsequently worked there as an actor and playwright until she relocated to London in 2016. Her solo shows include: Age is a Feeling (Edinburgh Fringe, 2022); and The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale, which premiered at Camden People's Theatre, London, in 2018, toured internationally, and was turned into a book by the same name.

"Inspired by interviews with hospice workers, conversations with mystics and trips to the cemetery, 'Age is a Feeling' is a gripping story that wrestles with the glorious and melancholy uncertainties of human life. A covert rallying cry against cynicism and regret, it's an uplifting exploration of chance, morality and living with verve. Haley McGee's one-person play was produced by Soho Theatre, directed by Adam Brace, and first performed at Summerhall during the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where it was adored by audiences, acclaimed by critics, and awarded several prizes including a Fringe First. It transferred to Soho Theatre, London, for several runs. Each performance was shaped by random selections made by the audience. This published edition, illustrated by Jason Logan, contains the full text of the play and offers readers a complete experience, as well as a blueprint for future productions."
