BUFF

PRESENTED BY SIBEARITA PRODUCTIONS IN ASSOCIATION WITH THEATRE ROYAL PLYMOUTH AND THE PLEASANCE
A hilarious yet timely story about being plus-sized in the gay community.

After a bad break-up from a 6-year relationship, a 32-year-old, plus sized, gay, primary school teacher finds he must sublet his flat to a buff Instagram model.

A funny yet poignant solo-performed play (centering a gay character usually side-lined in LGTBQIA+ theatre) BUFF explores body image pressures, social media jealousy, and the journey to self-acceptance through the often-cruel online world of dating and social media.

Fresh from its ★★★★★ award-nominated run at VAULT Festival, BUFF is a hilarious yet timely story about being plus-sized in the gay community.
