Content Advice
The hit Edinburgh Fringe and Soho sell-out show returns for 2024.

So they’ve both swiped right. Now they’re meeting for the first time. Facing each other. As if that’s a normal thing to do.

But she’s being uncomfortable, and he’s a total bore. The vibe is horrific and the banter is even worse. But something is keeping them in their seats. Something is making them stay.

With acid wit, Miriam Battye’s new play takes a scalpel to modern romance.

Performance captioned by Alex Romeo: Wed 5 Jun, 7.15pm
