What’s your show about? Swipe Left for Love is a saucy and naughty tale about the chaotic and slightly crazy Chloe James and the many people who colour her life. It’s based on my crazy dating and life experiences and has a cast of nine as well as plenty of music and some dancing (but not the jazz hands type, promise).
Where did the idea for your show come from? I got sacked from my fairly lucrative marketing job. Decided to jump into the performing arts, wrote the script in a couple of days – those bastards can go suck a lemon. I was always a corporate hippy anyway – being an artist suits me much better, I now have an excuse for my excessive drinking.
Can you share a memorable cast moment? We tend to crack each other up every rehearsal. I may have told them a story one day about my stupidity of accidently sending a soft porn video intended for a long distance lover to my publicist.
What’s a fun fact about the show? It’s pretty naughty and saucy, but the closest we get to nudity is my lead actress Holly McCrossin in a pair of knickers (I promise this is worth seeing). There’s lots of masturbation references, but I took out the actual masturbation scene.
Does your show have any audience participation? We won’t pull you up on stage (unless you want to). We mostly just want to get everyone plastered and have a brilliant time. We encourage singing along, dancing on tables – all that kind of stuff.
