The year is 2009. The location is physically Slough, Berkshire and spiritually Forks, Washington. Chloe and her 11-year-old besties have become obsessed with Twilight. Soon, watching is not enough for these voracious and unbalanced tweens. As they seek to immerse themselves in this world, Daughters of Volterra, a 30,000-word self-insert erotic fanfiction is born. Join comedian Chloe Jacobs on a journey through the hilarious and fevered imaginings of her vampire-obsessed youth, asking the important questions: what makes a superfan? What compels us to write? And... Bella! Where the hell have you been, loca?

About the show

Comedian Chloe Jacobs takes audiences back to the year 2009, when she and her eleven-year-old friends became obsessed with Twilight in Slough, Berkshire. The obsession led them to write Daughters of Volterra, a thirty-thousand-word self-insert erotic fanfiction. This free 60-minute comedy show at the Bar explores what makes a superfan, what compels us to write, and the fevered imaginings of a vampire-obsessed youth. Categorised as LGBTQ+ and neurodiversity-led, it is suitable for audiences aged 18 and above.

Why see this show?

A very specific obsession turned into genuinely funny storytelling — Twilight fanfiction written at age eleven, revisited with an adult comic eye. Niche, personal and clearly absurd in the best way.
