A farmer. A Taco Bell employee. A makeup artist. A landlord/influencer. It can only be this season's cast of Summer Fling, Channel 6's hottest dating show! Get ready for a summer of sand, short shorts and semen, as young people with concerningly low IQs and concerningly high body counts make fools of themselves for your viewing pleasure. A satirical comedy, Summer Fling explores the humorous, absurd and somewhat exploitative aspects of dating shows and the society we exist in.

About the show

Summer Fling is a satirical comedy by Student Theatre at Glasgow, performed at the Lower Theatre. The show takes the form of a fictional dating show called Summer Fling on Channel 6, featuring a cast including a farmer, a Taco Bell employee, a makeup artist and a landlord-slash-influencer. Running for 50 minutes, it skewers the humorous, absurd and somewhat exploitative aspects of dating shows and the society they reflect, watching young people make fools of themselves for the audience's viewing pleasure.

Why see this show?

A sharp student production that uses the dating show format as a lens on modern society. Funny and knowingly absurd, it delivers the kind of satirical bite that the Fringe does well.
