Description
What happens six months after your five minutes of fame? Cyrus and Ben are the first gay winners of TV's biggest reality show. They're 22, have thousands of followers, but now spend most of their days making sponsored content about dog food, and fronting campaigns about adult incontinence. When they're offered an influencing deal in Dubai, the couple must decide how far they'll go to cling to celebrity... and at what cost. A smash-hit satire by multi award-winning comedy writers for Netflix and BBC Television. 'Fantastic play... had me howling with laughter' (BroadwayWorld.com), from BAFTA-winning Unusual Productions.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.

Superb 2 man show, the show is about a gay social influencer couple who think differently and the challenges that brings to the relationship. Very funny and self deprecating while touching on deeper modern themes. The 2 actors had a great chemistry.

Fabulous show - punchy, funny, and poignant. Superb acting and brilliant writing, with a gripping storyline and complicated romance. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

“Love’s a Beach”
Gay lovers Cyrus and Ben are on a roll as online influencers. Their promo for adult diapers is a hit, and their followers are in the thousands. But when an offer to promote a luxury hotel in anti-LGBTQ Dubai excites Cyrus while Ben is more inclined to save threatened badgers at home, the sparks of love turn into the fireworks of relationship issues. James Akka and Iain Ferrier command the stage with snark, snap, snide, and sizzle with a script that explodes with lines that draw constant laughter and a story that pulls at the heartstrings. The ending is a cliffhanger leaving us hoping there is a “Love’s a Beach, Part 2” at next year’s Fringe!
Rating: 5 E

I do think this was one of my highlights! Wonderful characters with great chemistry, excellently written and well performed. Fun insight into the influencer industry too. Five stars, no notes

Perfectly pitched warm satire with great performances and excellent witty writing. The characters take their social media careers seriously but this play doesn't, and although we are invited to laugh at them, they remain human and not just caricatures. Lots of fun.
