About
Two men meet in a coffee shop, having previously only spoken online. They talk coffee, Laverne Cox, and Courtney Act vs Ann Widdicombe in the 2018 series of Celebrity Big Brother. The nervous energy between them is palpable. Is it a date? An interview? A hook-up? Guess again.
Using a queer lens to reimagine one of the most shocking crimes in modern memory, Some Masterchef Sh*t eats taboo for dinner (literally!) as it examines the idea of living life by default and how far you can go in the name of ‘doing something nice for someone’, one thing is for sure – after this play, you’ll never watch an I’m A Celebrity eating trial in the same way again.
The winner of the audience-voted favourite play at Manchester’s short-play competition OffCut in 2023, Some Masterchef Sh*t has had critically-acclaimed runs at Manchester in 2024 and at Edinburgh Fringe in 2025. This production at The Glitch is its London debut.

“Infused with delicate, tight writing, lightning-quick dialogue, and refreshingly honest, natural banter – *****” (The Spy In The Stalls)
