Swipe Left - A parody of a 'Back to the Future' movie poster with Marty and the Doc replaced by icons for dating apps, looking at their phones.

Swipe Left

Comedy • Solo show
New South Wales • World Premiere

Have you been zapped of your zest by the apps? Left bereft, feeling trapped and, at best, a little app...rehensive about dating?

Have you swiped your last swipe, now with a gripe against your 'type', wishing to wipe your hands of that tripe?

We love them, we hate them - but are dating apps a necessary evil... or unnecessarily evil?

Songs, stories, and scintillating scrutinisation from the brain-goo of an app-less and hapless sod, 'Swipe Left' goes meta for a metaphor, takes a swipe at the swiping, gets unhinged about Hinge, grumbles about Bumble and takes Tinder out with the trash...

Only to download them again a month later.

Invite your Tinder date*. It'll be a blast!

*Maybe don't.

I am sh-, I mean, NICHOLAS is sh*t-scared to be doing his first solo, self-devised show at Adelaide Fringe.
