About this show
What is masculinity from a gay perspective? A one-man comedy about a mixed race gay guy, masculinity and breakups. Jordan, and his much smarter ‘professor’ alter ego, has just broken up with his first boyfriend, and has dreams of entering his healing era. From nights out, to hook-ups, to joining a football team, Pimm’s Without the Cucumber tells the all too familiar story of the lasting effect someone can have, highlighting every queer boy’s experience of unexpected relationships and learning to accept who they are.
