First up, what’s a Fuckboi?
Well, a fuckboi is an all-encompassing, wonderful expression used to call out those douchebags you date. It’s originally a rap term coined in the early 2000s. Twenty years later, whitefolk appropriated it. Now in its Taylor Swift-version, it means a not very nice person to date.
What is your show about?
In the broadest sense, our show is about treating other people right. One night stands, Tinder dates, friends with benefits, long term partners – everyone is a human and deserves to be treated as such.
How does your show explore modern relationships?
Through literal firsthand tellings of our personal lives and the disgusting, depressing, honest to god truths of our romantic follies. I guess, by exploring our own relationships, we involuntarily explore them all.
What sets your show apart from other Fringe performances?
We are ourselves in this show and every single story we tell is 100 percent truth. It’s all happened to us and real life is the funniest and most depressing thing there is. Our show is a one giant, very rude, very real Scarlet Letter where we divulge the most shocking and intimate details about our love lives – that’s got to be something different in Fringe.
Has your show evolved since its first performances?
We’ve totally condensed and just kept the juicy parts. We strengthened this cordial, baby. All jokes, all sass, scrapped the intermission: 50 minutes of pure fuckboi-ness. I think I’ve been dumped by the same fuckboi four times since we finished our last season, so I’ve had to write him a few letters to include in this Fringe season.
How do you want audiences to remember your show?
As a hella funny, hella personal rollercoaster of human intimacy along with all the awkward mornings and ribbed condoms in between.
