Blowhole

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 his 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 - and about one gay man's journey to find connection in a world that feels seemingly devoid of real intimacy.

"An outrageously raw, brazenly queer new comedy depicting life and love in your twenties." - Bakchormeeboy

"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
