Plus One

Event Duration: 60 minutes

Every group of friends has its little mysteries.  
Every couple has its not-so-little secrets.  
And everyone has to be someone’s … Plus One.

… Plus One is a character-based comedy about what happens when a group of old mates catch up for the first time in ages to support their flaky friend’s latest artistic venture. From the perpetually single thirty-something caught between Gens X & Y, to the beaming couple whose marital bliss is more than a little bit creepy, to the cashed-up former hippie who thinks baby seals are big enough to fend for themselves … Plus One celebrates all of them, and spares none of them. These guys share too much history and they’re carrying too much baggage … it’s time to unload.

Fiona Harris (Comedy Inc.; The Librarians) and Mike McLeish (KEATING! The Musical; Shane Warne The Musical) play all these characters - and more - in a comedy about fear of the future, secrets from the past, and an open bar in the present that will leave them all questioning if it’s really worth being anyone’s plus one - or if it’s just easier going it alone.
