​Premiered at Omnibus Theatre, London in 2022

 

A darkly comedic and wildly sexy show.

​

Following the sold out runs of critical hits Undetectable (nominated for 3 Off West End Awards) and My Dad’s Gap Year (nominated for 4 Off West End Awards), Tom Wright and Rikki Beadle-Blair bring you their most provocative show to date: the darkly comedic and wildly sexy Very Special Guest Star.

​

In a desperate attempt to bring some spark back to their all-too-cosy married life, professional millennials Michael and Phil switch a sherry on the couch for a night on the town. Their goal: to get in with Generation Z by trying to get off with one.

​

Enter fit, sexy, confident Quasim. But the ‘just for one night’ adventure brings shocking revelations as Michael and Phil discover more about the 20-year-old boy in their bed than they ever wanted to know, and their suburban dream is shaken to its core.
