Blink: A one-man gay rom-com

After a fantastic debut run at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2022, Terry Geo’s astounding show is back!

Blink gives a raw and emotional insight into modern life for an interracial couple. This one-man gay rom-com will have you laughing, cheering and reaching for the tissues.

“Bring your tissues, buckle your seatbelts… things are about to get intense.” Charlie Faint (EdFringe)

Jake meets the man of his dreams, a Kenyan refugee now working for Stonewall. Their relationship is full of laughter and together they build an incredible life filled with love, adventure and comical moments. But being gay isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Together they face homophobia and racism head on, combat HIV stigma and show the world that two men – even from different races – are no different to anyone else.

“A story that should be heard.” Neil White (EdFringe)

Terry Geo wrote and directed his first play aged 11. After leaving school, he worked in television becoming the youngest TV director. After a brief stint in a boyband, he starred in musical theatre productions, short films, music videos and toured the UK and UAE with a TIE show.
