The Gay Divorce

Edinburgh 2026

Do you crave safety while everything collapses? You want to kill the pain but keep it cute? Then this show’s for you! And for anyone who’s ever had a bad ex, used a credit card, who’s ever seen a convertible and thought: nice, or googled: am I gay? A hilarious nightmare romcom about a broken-hearted trophy wife, as her dream gay wedding disintegrates into a haunted, glitter-soaked cabaret of Barbie-dreamhouse rituals and romantic delusion. Think Pee-wee’s Playhouse via Mulholland Drive: featuring a witch, a co-dependent Jesus, even a very angry worm... Get in loser, we’re getting divorced!
