Art Of Dating And Dumping, The

Synopsis:
the dating game has long been a subject of scrutiny for many an agony aunt, with more solutions available than ever before to find that one true love - from the lonely hearts pages and speed-dating, to the expanding number of online dating sites and agencies - time and again, dealings of the heart prove to be less than straight forward - the remedy, the art of Dating and Dumping - a definitive guide to meeting, dating and dumping, exploring the highs' and lows' of the dating game and highlighting the crucial Do's and critical Don'ts of modern day courtship; from the initial chat-up and first date through to the first kiss and break-up - the good, the bad and the downright ridiculous are dissected in a highly amusing, unnerving, pseudo lecture-based performance.

A bedsit in Camden. Halloween night. 2012. Nat pays her ex-boyfriend a visit, looking for closure.

One Man Show-Off

Synopsis:
Drawing upon his past misdemeanours - including his experiences as a small-time dealer - and inspired by everyday personalities, Dave welcomes audiences to the baroque Belgravia mansion of his mind and the array of weird and wonderful, sometimes all-too familiar characters that he has conjured, whom each of us can recognise and perhaps even identify with in some way, ranging from Simon in accounts and his hapless presentation for the new range of Surefire Stapler to sprightly Kevin, the S&M gimp who dreams of being a stand-up comedian.
