Description
Log into the world of the incels: a terminally online community of toxic men that blame women and society for keeping sex from them. That is until one of them sleeps with a woman who invades their group chat. And all hell breaks loose. Strap in as this wild satire turns over one of the darkest stones of the internet to reveal the strange fleshy humans wriggling underneath.Please note that while all media gallery content is provided by verified members of the event, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society does not review or approve this content before it is posted.

Brilliant from start to finish - superb, immensely physical acting; tight, sharp script; brilliantly staged making full use of the space and the simple but powerful props - thought provoking, funny, and a painful insight into loneliness all packed into one hour. Can't recommend this enough - it's a genuine treat. The audience I was with absolutely loved it; catch it now while it's hot!

One of the most powerful show I saw this year. Deep, fun, clever. Amazingly realised.

Was expecting much from this show and it was even better than this. An on-message concept carefully crafted and delivered by surely 5 of Dublin's most exciting young talents. A must see!

An incredible piece of theatre that brings a current relevant subculture of men to light in a comedic tone as it covers very serious topics. The acting is incredible from start to finish. The writing is thought provoking and funny a perfect mix when you’re looking for something to watch.

Loved this show, which explored important themes with humour, pathos and loads of energy. The acting was strong and the playful use of frames to symbolise screens and to support dance was well thought through. The receptive audience added to the atmosphere and helped make the show a joy to experience.

A really vital piece of theatre that delves into a subculture that 100% exists and fuels a lot of misogynist rhetoric online.What elevated this in my own view anyhow was a real effort to ensure the members of the deeply damaged and toxic incel group were layered, well explored and nuanced - exploring the fact that men naively 'join' this oft ignored/unrecognized movement with wildly different backgrounds and motivations. This play deservedly lays bare their motivations and aims while remaining a compelling, witty and wonderfully realised narrative to explore

Went into the show completely blind but wow, it was brilliant
The entire cast crushed it, it's a bit jarring hearing such vile language so quickly, but all of the cast were excellant
Thank you for a great show!

I went in for a comedy and left feeling warmed inside! The Last Incel is not only fully but well realised and researched injecting a bit of human into people that society often don’t understand or look down on. I hope that people from all walks of life get to see this amazing show and learn more about our society as a whole.

It is shows like this that highlight the importance of live theatre and new writing. The last Incel is funny, warm and poingniant, with characters that are relatable and believable. There are laugh out loud moments where music and dance are used to highlight key ideas in a funny engaging way. The incel movement is relatively new and the show gave insight into both the esoteric language and some of the insecurities that drive the views. A live show is the best way to get across the ideas of love acceptance and value in such a powerful way. Messages that would be lost if you are not fully immersed in the acting. A must see.
