SWIPE LEFT FOR LOVE – MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL 2017 & TWO BAD DATES and TWO BROKEN NOSES – MELBOURNE FRINGE FESTIVAL 2017

It’s at once hilarious, revealing, absurd, touching and sometimes just plain goofy” – beat magazine 2017

The chatter is right: this is a well-produced, well-written, well-performed and unique show that has lots of heart” – beat magazine 2017

Selected as on of the top ten “sauciest” shows to go to as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2017 – Herald Sun 2017

With nimble dialogue and bursting with jokes and knock out original songs, Amanda Jane Pritchard’s ‘play with music’ mines its humour from our collective deep seeded sense of human frailty, and in this instance matched with compassion and hope” – Cathy Horsely – writer, producer, director.

Swipe Left for Love is a saucy comedy/drama centred around the creative, complex and flawed, Chloe James and the many people who colour her life.

There’s her bulldog boss Angela, best friend Harry, charismatic Kirk Patrick and Dr Wild, her at times judgemental psychiatrist.

Chloe desperately wants to get on track but is tempted by a married man, drugs and her own  inner afflictions. Hopefully this time she hits her bottom for the last time.

Stay tuned for the next instalment of Swipe Left for Love!

This was such a joy to experience the first showing of Swipe Left for Love and the reactions from my staff and other audience members as we all related to moments in the story was priceless… A first production of great determination, talent and bravery which bought complicated levels of interpersonal relationships, emotions and comedy… I really look forward to seeing the evolution of this play/event“.

– Bernie Clifford, Producer,  Director of the Lorne Film Festival

Baby, I'm your Man copy

From the creator of “Swipe Left for Love” – which debuted at the 2017 Melbourne International Comedy Festival to rave reviews – comes “Two Bad Dates & Two Broken Noses”. Two stories. Five players. Loads of laughs.

Harry and Garry have only just started dating and set off to Sydney for Mardi Gras. Chloe is seeing Kirk Patrick who is a bit of a jerk and she kinda likes her new dentist, Dr Rose. And Bridget? well, she just can’t seem to get her shit together, whether as a cabaret singer or a waitress.

This original play (with music) by Amanda Jane Pritchard is a bit naughty, a bit saucy and at times just plain absurd. Starring Bridget Mylecharane, Andy Burns, Paul O’Halloran and Amanda as Chloe James. Presented by *imagine all the people productions.
