Hello, we’re Ell and Mary. We’re best friends and ex-girlfriends and we’re bored of playing it cool.

So this is a show about what gets you hot. We asked women and transpeople aged 11-97 what makes them sweat, rub and gush. OK, we didn’t ask the 11-year-old exactly the same questions. We made a sweaty verbatim dance party out of their answers.

“scorchingly enjoyable”

Evening Standard★★★★

“an emotionally-charged, powerful show. Almost too hard to summarise using words, HOTTER is an exquisite performance of love, fear, sadness and humour…I have never seen a show with such power – both in what is portrayed on stage and what I felt in the audience…it truly left me speechless”

Broadway Baby

“To have a whole audience crying and dancing in the space of five minutes with nothing more than a soundtrack and a beautifully crafted story is what the fringe is all about.”

EdFestMag

“from despair and heartache a joyous party erupts, the audience are on their feet and people are hugging those around them, it felt so pure and beautiful…[something] I’ve never seen before in a theatre”
