2026 Philly Fringe lineup just announced! Tickets are on sale now.
An original solo show about a very unoriginal topic: Dating.
In the absence of a romantic relationship, the next best thing is the attention of a rapt audience. For as long as Tess has been single (forever), the best part of dates has been telling stories about them after. Now she’s ready to share them with everyone else [with names redacted]. Over this 75-minute show, Tess weaves personal storytelling and audience participation about what it means to be 35, ready to mingle, and obsessed with finding meaning in everything. Part comedy show, part singles event (for Tess), all catharsis. Bring your single straight male friends. Seriously.
*Not actually a work in progress show; the single woman IS the work in progress, y'know?

Tess L is a local performer, educator, and eligible bachelorette. A native Philadelphian, Tess has performed improv comedy and storytelling on stages up and down the East Coast and once on a bus even though no one asked for it. She's made dozens of dating app bios over the years and can't stomach making yet another one for this where she tries to distill her expansive existence into a list of quirky but sincere likes, dislikes, and proclivities. She has wishes and dreams, just like you, and will tell you all about them if you ask her out on a date. Then she'll return the favor and ask you bold questions that get to the heart of the matter. The best way to get to know her is to see this show.
