Description

Gracie is looking for love, and it's been tough. Despite what people say, there definitely aren't plenty more fish in the sea. Now, in one last totally-not-desperate shot, she wants to see if you – yes, YOU – could be The One. Oh, and did she mention, she’s a jellyfish? An immortal, pop culture obsessed, very horny jellyfish, with a pretty big confession to make... An extinction-level comedy about heartbreak, revolution and surviving the apocalypse. ART Award Winner 2024.

Incredible. One of the best shows at the fringe - a hidden gem. well crafted story telling, moving and so relatable about everything from love, activism, fandom and more. Mesmerizing costume, inspired to get orange jelly shoes!

What a gem of a show!
I was quickly totally lost in Gracie's world, laughing out loud and hanging on her every word then found myself deeply touched by the themes and teary eyed.
It is a beautifully written and performed production full of lyricism and joy that also packs a punch.
GO SEE IT!!!

What a brilliant performance by Zoë Bullock, it is such an intriguing storyline and involving storytelling! I felt like I was brought on a journey with this lovely jellyfish and her drama. I could recommend this to everyone - love stories and life dilemmas are so relatable! In terms of acting - a phenomenal execution of a solo show. Very well done!
