Show Description:

Married, in her 30s, and dating for the very first time…

J likes bees, ice cream and the colour green. And, tonight, she has a date with someone who isn't her husband.

It's ok, everyone involved knows.

Join her while she gets ready, as she shares stories of entering the world of online dating while happily married in an effort to understand if polyamorous is something that she is or polyamory is just something that she does.

Earnest and sometimes surreal, I Met All My Friends on Dating Apps is a solo show reflecting on the "friend zone", connection and confidence after one year of pursuing consensual non-monogamy. Part spoken word, TedTalk and a chat with your pal. Expect: indecision about what to wear, dating app data vis, and a Brummy sock puppet. 

After debuting as a work-in-progress to a sell-out run at A Pinch of VAULT (Feb 2024) and following a successful Camden Fringe (Aug 2024), I Met All My Friends on Dating Apps is adjusting its location settings to match with audiences in Cambridge this summer.  Described as “An intimate little trip of human connection” and “Heartfelt, funny & incredibly relatable”, this solo show is written and performed by Jess Andrews, with Direction and Dramaturgy by Katie Overstall, Sound by Rob Sear and Produced by Jenny Samuels.
