It’s mad to think that we’ve only actually spent less than twenty days working together, on these past two shows, but we certainly squeezed the life of those days!
We have a little break, now, but we’re already, planning to meet up, before the next round of shows begins.
Trauma bonds are strong with this lot 😂
That's a wrap on another one folks - @northernballetschool Divertissement & Tribe ✅️
As ever, a silly crew photo with our favourite choice of prop, costume and the like.
Gonna miss my theatre family until we reunited to tackle the next one in May!
🚨My last weekend of freedom before we dive into rehearsals next week Monday for the “Daddy’s First Gay Date” tour — and I couldn’t be more excited! 💘
This hilarious, heart-warming, queer rom-com is about to hit the road — and YOU need to grab your tickets before they’re gone! 🎟️✨
We’re coming to:
📍 Hull - Oct 10
📍 Chester - Oct 11
📍 Guildford - Oct 23

“Just finished BUFF a one man show about being Black, plus-sized, and gay — basically all the things that make me iconic.
One mic, one body, too much personality for one stage.
Thanks to everyone who came, laughed, and got their life. This one’s for the bold babes who refuse to shrink. 💅🏾✨” - ChatGPT, 2025 xx

#theatre #soho #newwriting
After a bad break-up from a six year relationship, a plus-sized gay primary school teachers decided to sublet his flat to buff Instagram model Jamie.
As he launches himself into the world of online dating he finds the world of online-apps much crueler than he remembers to people like him. At the same time, his feelings towards his new flatmate grow.
Things rapidly spiral on his journey of self-discovery with comic twists and heartbreaking moments along the way.
This body-positive play about body image and self-acceptance was one of the hits of the #EdFringe in 2023 and embarks on a UK Tour this Spring.
“One of the very best pieces of fringe theatre I have ever seen”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ @atdazzles
“Buff is one of those Fringe gems that deserves to tour the UK and be seen by audiences of all shapes, sizes and sexualities”
