Following a month-long run as part of Underbelly at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022, the 5-star show CANDY by Tim Fraser returns.
Will is a Northern guy who’s been single for far too long. Still living at home and stuck in his dead-end job, his world is turned upside down when he falls hopelessly in love with the seductive singer, Candy. The only problem: she’s his best mate in drag. Now Will’s friendships, family and work life are crumbling at the fringes as he struggles to come to terms with his new-found feelings. When his Great Aunt Toadface dies, he realises he needs to seize life by his bollocks and tell Candy how he feels… Can he ever be with her? And what does loving her really mean?
CANDY is a one-man solo performance, and a new comedy about love and heart break, confusion and crisis of identity, and the beauty and the strength that you can find in love and how scary it can be.
Excellent writing, brilliant staging and a superb performance that had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish- LondonTheatre1
