‘Bawdy, joyfully daft, weapons-grade whimsy. It’s still what the Fringe does best.’
With ‘gorgeous chemistry, total commitment and delightfully inventive playfulness’, The Origin of Love is a spectacle for lovers of the strange, stupid and sexy. A cursed couple’s character comedy show from the Broadcast Award winning creators of Channel 4’s Peaked. As heard on BBC Radio 4’s Time of The Week.
