DESPERATE WEE GAY BOY
“Tonight is gonna be wild. I’m feeling sexy, I’m feeling flirty - And then he walks in...”
Dive headfirst into the whirlwind life of Ollie, a thrill-seeking Scot navigating London's queer nightlife. From tequila-fueled dance floors to messy encounters with high school crushes and steamy Soho saunas, Ollie's journey is a raw, hilarious, and heartfelt exploration of what it means to crave connection in a world of fleeting thrills.
Desperate Wee Gay Boy debuted at Camden People’s Theatre in November 2024. It then played to sold out audiences at Underbelly for Edinburgh Fringe 2025.
