Description

Meet Him. He's gay, twenty-something, and aspiring to be Billie Piper circa 1999. For now though, he's still single, still horny, and still perfecting the bum-hole selfie in the work toilets. Rock bottom's never been so fabulous. Blowhole is a screengrab of the pitfalls of swipe-right culture, 'an outrageously raw, brazenly queer new comedy depicting life and love in your twenties' ***** (Bakchormeeboy.com). 'Imaginative storytelling and magical – theatre does not come any better than this' ***** (Boyz Magazine). 'Side-splittingly hilarious, a celebration of bringing queer stories to the forefront' (TheatreAndOtherThings, Instagram).

A fabulous, massively entertaining and moving show! I was totally swept up in the storytelling and Ben (writer/performer) was flawless. Run don’t walk to book this! It will be a highlight of your Fringe.
