If you want an evening of nudity coupled with gay humour – go and see Up4aMeet? you wont be disappointed. Up4aMeet? was even funnier than I had expected and I left with an aching belly from laughing-out-loud so often.
The ending was dramatic, full of twists and turns with plenty of humour and a reminder that: you never really know whom you’re talking to online. The cast’s acting was splendid and they all made good eye contact with the audience – despite the difficult layout of the venue. Scott (Lloyd Daniels) is the only male member of the cast who doesn’t get fully naked – sorry boys. We don’t see Scott on stage until mid-way through and he barely has any dialogue. Scott (Lloyd Daniels) was mostly eye candy and played a far too small role in the play.
One particularly funny scene of Caroline’s that springs to mind involves an eye patch and a glory-hole. Caroline had some great, sharp one-liners and is a constant source of entertainment throughout. But he made fun of it himself and managed to get a few chuckles from the audience. Yet despite this stereotyping, the characters are believable and had a reasonable amount of depth – which is a tremendous credit to the writer.Īll of the characters are a bit zany including Carlos who had a bit of a dodgy accent at times. The comedy that causes the audience’s incessant and side-splitting laughter is derived through gay stereotyping. The characters attempt to deal with their own problems throughout the more than two hour show, amusing the audience along the way. Grant and Carlos accidently switch phones and the hilarity begins. Up4aMeet? has nudity from the start with Grant being caught by Caroline taking a rude picture of himself for his ‘Cock Shop’ profile. (The Up4aMeet? Cast: Chris Wills, Penny Tasker, Lloyd Daniels, Nikki Grahame, Michael Blore & Benedict Garrett) Julian decides he’s getting a flatmate and ends up with Scott (X-Factor’s Lloyd Daniels). His obsession extends to playing Gold Finger constantly, having a cardboard cut-out of her and a toilet seat that he’s made for her as a gift. Julian is obsessed with Dame Shirley Bassey. In the apartment next door is old queen Julian (played by the suitable Michael Blore). She represents a number of reality-TV celebrities including Stacey Granger (Big Brother’s Nikki Grahame) but is failing to find work for any of them. He was practically naked throughout the entire show.Ĭaroline (played by the fantastic Penny Tasker) is a broke Celebrity Agent who is Grant’s best friend and lives in the apartment downstairs. Carlos has a strict eversion to clothes and stripped every time he walked onto the stage. ‘The Cock Shop’ is described as a gay man’s sweet shop with a few clicks a man can be delivered to your door.Ĭarlos (played by the well-endowed Benedict Garrett) is Grant’s Spanish & naturist flatmate who also is a big fan of ‘The Cockshop.’ For Carlos life is all about the sex. But on his favourite app ‘The Cock Shop’ he can be himself and even find out how many metres away his nearest gay man is. Grant (played by the brilliant and sexy Chris Wills) finds it difficult to talk to gay men in reality. It’s #NakedAugust month here at The Gay UK, so I decided to go along and see Up4aMeet? the hilarious naked gay play. Up4aMeet? – An Evening of Naked, Gay, Laugh-Out-Loud Comedy Steve & I went to see Up4aMeet? this weekend.

You can learn more about Russell on Wikipedia. I don’t know who his boyfriend is, but he’s a lucky guy. On his Twitter he occasionally posts hot photos of himself, but it’s mostly pics of his dog. He seems like a lovely guy who always has time to pose for a photo with fans: So I thought I’d share some photos of him that I found online (click on any image for full size): He’s sexy, funny and there’s just something about him. Russell Tovey is an actor and my eye candy.
