Young(ish) Perspective
Binge Fringe
Burning red flags, messy situationships and a closet full of exes … how is a liberated Black woman supposed to find The One in the midst of a cost-of-loving crisis? The outrageously funny Temi Wilkey is back with a brand-new show: part stand-up, part theatre, part cabaret, all set to the backdrop of 90s R&B and neo-soul.

Lover Girl is about seeking love in a hopeless place, everybody’s right to pleasure, and how touching infinity can spark a revolution.

‘a riotous hour of entertainment’
★★★★ Whatsonstage
‘Wildly intimate comedy goes to infinity and beyond’
★★★★ Guardian

In Temi’s search for a suitor, she’s forced to search within. Enter her Infinity Pussy: a surrealist diva who takes over her one-woman show and opens up her Heart in ways she could never have imagined. Called forth by infinite ancestral wisdom, Temi dives deep into her tunnel of love, faces down the exes she’d rather forget and discovers that real love might be resistance.

Sexy, tender and utterly hilarious – Temi’s back, and this one’s for the lovers.

‘A riotous, razor sharp dissection of modern romance’
★★★★ A Young(ish) Perspective

Directed by Ragevan Vasan

Black Out Nights
Thursday 5 Nov and Thursday 19 Nov
Including post-show Q&A

“A concept birthed by Slave Play playwright Jeremy O. Harris, a BLACK OUT is the purposeful creation of an environment in which an all-Black-identifying audience can experience and discuss an event in the performing arts – free from the white gaze.”

On Thursday 5 November and Thursday 19 November, Soho Theatre, Bobby Harding and Temi Wilkey are proud to be hosting two Black Out Night performances of LOVER GIRL, each with a post-show discussion – giving black-identifying audience members this unique experience of the production, a chance to discuss its themes and build community around them.
