The Heterosexuals arrives at the Gilded Balloon Patter House in Edinburgh on Wednesday 5 August, a solo show that casts an anthropological eye over the straight world. The performer, who carried out undercover research while posing as a heterosexual, fuses storytelling with satire to scrutinise the habits, sartorial choices, and origins of this baffling demographic. Drawing on personal humiliation and sharp observation, the show offers a queer perspective on what it truly means to be straight. The comedian’s style is witty and unflinching, blending comedy with genuine insight into social norms. Ticket prices are available on the venue’s website.
