'Up4aMeet?' is up no more

We made it through three weeks of performances, three leading ladies, two directors, mixed reviews, a variety of audience sizes and we've come out the other side smiling and so pleased to have been involved in such an amazing production.

The last performance of 'Up4aMeet?' was very well received by an extremely enthusiastic audience, culminating in a standing ovation from the house.

Its very sad to leave, what has, after 6 weeks of intense rehearsing and performance schedule, become a very close-knit group of people.  But before we parted our separate ways, we hit Freedom Bar in Soho for one more night of fun and frolicking!

With cast & crew on the last day.

Denise Welch is 'Up4aMeet'

Last night, we had the pleasure of welcoming actress & TV presenter, Denise Welch, into the 'Up4aMeet?' audience at the Waterloo East Theatre.  Denise, good friends of co-star Matt Evers after being skating partners on 'Dancing On Ice', was accompanied by some of her friends who work on 'Loose Women' over at ITV too.  They all seemed to thoroughly enjoy the play and Denise seemed equally excited to receive a hug from Uncle Bendy afterwards!

Official 'Up4aMeet?' Show Pics

Here's a couple of official pictures from the show.  Slightly risque, but for being saved by a conveniently placed hand by co-star Penny Tasker.  Hope you enjoy!

Up4aMeet Press Night

 Thursday 6th of September 2012 was Press Night for the play that I am in, 'Up4aMeet'.  It was well attended and seemed to go down well with the audience.  I was supported by some of my ex-Big Brother housemates and a few friends from stage, screen and the world of fashion.  Here's a selection of pictures of the post-performance celebrations at Auberge in Waterloo:

Benedict stars in London comedy play

This hilarious adult comedy tells the story of three gay men who spend all their lives on an online dating website.

Unlucky in love Grant (Matt Evers) enlists the aid of his friend Caroline (Nikki Zilli) to take 

some nude pictures that might enhance his online dating profile. His flamate Costas 

(Benedict Garrett), a spanish nudist, has endless success with the site and even Julian, his neighbour with a Shirley Bassey fixation appears to get a fair share of the virtual action.

What happens when Grant falls in love with the handsome stranger Scott (Marc Gee-Finch)? How does Julian end up naked wrapped in clingfilm? And is getting a shag really like ordering a pizza?
