Charlie is sick of his iPhone. His best friend never replies, his mum nags him and everyone else's life looks better than his. For his twenty-seventh birthday he decides to buy an old-school flip phone, reasoning that cutting out five-hour screen time days will fix everything. I Bought a Flip Phone is a new-writing comedy from Peej Productions and Panos Kandunias, described as a hilarious, heartfelt dive into digital burnout, raunchy texts from men, and the feeling of waiting for your life to start.
Why see this show?
Digital burnout has never been more relatable, and this sixty-minute show at Playground 2 finds both the comedy and the ache in it. Warm, honest and with a good line in awkward modern life, it is a Fringe show that meets audiences exactly where they are.
