How Bridie Connell Built a Fake Boy Band That Feels Real

How Bridie Connell Built a Fake Boy Band That Feels Real

What do boy bands, modern dating and unhealthy masculinity have in common?

According to today's guest - comedian, writer and performer Bridie Connell - more than you think.

In this hilarious conversation, Bridie joins me to talk about her wildly original musical F*ccbois: Live In Concert — a sharp, affectionate and very funny satire about a fictional boy band, performed entirely by a female and non-binary cast in drag.

Bridie shares how years of observing modern dating culture, “love bombing”, gaslighting and the strange choreography of bad male behaviour inspired the show. And how what began as a desire to write about “f*ck boys” eventually became a full-scale musical and a love letter to the boy bands of the ’90s and 2000s, like Backstreet Boys, *NSync and Westlife.

The show is hilarious - if you get the chance to see it, you won't regret it!
