SUCKER 4 U
'Relationships can be hard - especially when your lover is a world-devouring elder god.'
This is the very dark, very rude, very queer rom-com about a young man and immortal giant-monster-squid-from-beyond-the-stars that you've been waiting for. But is their interdimensional love doomed, or can a happy-ever-after rise from the smouldering ashes of civilisation..??
SUCKER 4 U smashes together theatre, cabaret, stand-up, clown, questionable use of props, and lashings of camp to tell a timeless tale of eldritch horror meet-cute. It's raucous! It's abominable! It's the most fun you can have with your tentacles out! Bring tissues*.
*[for the slime]
Last seen at The Pleasance as part of their LGBTQ+ History Month season in 2022, following sell-out performances at the London Horror Festival, SUCKER 4 U returns this year -- and it's coming to Cardiff for one spooky and sticky performance only!
ABOUT THE ARTIST/PERSON RESPONSIBLE
Written & performed by Reece Connolly — your friendly neighbourhood fun-sized they/he, artist, and raconteur - originally from the North East and now based in London - who can squeeze an innuendo out of almost anything (just ask your dad).
They’re the co-creator and emcee of the runaway cult hit Gallifrey Cabaret, as well as writer of several plays of varying success and notoriety, a couple of straight-to-DVD horror movies, and he’s been on a few TV gameshows too.
PREVIOUS AUDIENCE FEEDBACK/PRAISE/CONCERNS
'Absolute madness - f*cking loved it.’
'Magically camp… a must-see.’
'Hilarious, heartwarming and oddly beautiful.'
'Changed my life... I don't know if in a good way.'
'Calamari has nothing on this tasty dish.'
'Confusingly erotic and erotically confusing?’
'Why?'
'I really worry for that boy.'
