Holding Out For A Hero

Holding Out For A Hero is a one woman show about the binfire that is modern dating.

Journalist Emma Smith has been holding out for a hero her entire life. Now-after decades of dating-she wants to know- where the F*** is he?! In order to find out, she’s channelling her Welsh soul sister Bonnie Tyler in this comedy cabaret romp. Think all singing (well, mostly lip syncing), all dancing stand-up-meets-ex-rated-TED-talk.

Alongside her own shambolic love life, she explores the history of dating apps and how they’ve affected our search for love and our behaviour. Is Hinge really ‘designed to be deleted’? Or does it want you to keep you paying a montly subscription? 63% of British singles now use apps, and the industry is worth 165million annually. But are dating apps now dead?

Prepare to find out how Emma got banned from Tinder while on holiday in Sicily. Meander through her slut years and her x-rated whatsapp archive. How did she survive a period of voluntary celibacy? And why did a Thatcherite call her a Feminazi?

The show contains strong language, adult themes and sexual content. Images of full frontal male nudity are shown.
