Love's a Beach

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

Favourite show at Fringe! Clever, hilarious writing and incredible stage presence from both actors. Haven’t laughed so much in a long time.

Superb show! Thoroughly enjoyed this - excellent actors and really funny and engaging writing.

Light hearted fun with deep tones #fringefav ;)

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.
