Blowhole at Pleasance Theatre

BLOWHOLE is an outrageously raw and brazenly queer new comedy depicting life and love in your twenties. Written and performed by Benjamin Salmon (Soho Writers Lab, BBC Comedy Room shortlist) this solo show captures a hilariously relatable yet tender portrait of modern life, flipping the rom-com format on its head.Exploring connection and community in the modern age of serial digital dating and what its like to hit millennial rock bottom, BLOWHOLE tells the story of Him, a single, sexless, grief-stricken yet undeniably fabulous gay man in London, traversing a lifestyle of self-destruction, IBS, and hook-up apps. Presenting queer culture at its most vulnerable, the play offers a frank and human portrayal of life in crisis and self-discovery. BLOWHOLE is directed by Tom Wright (Undetectable, Kings Head Theatre; My Dads Gap Year, Park Theatre) and produced by award-winning production company Deus Ex Machina Productions (Dust; Ride; The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 ).
