Have you ever wondered why they call it a crush? Having a crush is heaven. Until it’s not. Until it’s literally hell on earth. Let Benjamin Quirk take you on an emotional joyride that quickly veers off and becomes a tragic trainwreck as he explores the glorious highs and devastating lows of having a crush, going through the beautiful hope we never want to lose and the cringe embarrassment we’d rather forget. 

CRUSH is a bold new one-man show that explores the desire, delusion and damaging side effects of an all-encompassing, debilitating, ridiculous romantic pursuit. See just how crushing a crush can be.  

“Quirk’s exuberance is infectious; he brings a camp energy that becomes melodramatic – we literally see his emotions on show.” – Fourth Wall Media.
