Sex ... with Pete Searles
After his much younger girlfriend leaves him for a better looking,
richer, more successful friend of his, Searles dissolves into a gibbering,
chain-smoking, suicidal-insomniac! In desperation he resorts to the
latest new-age self-help healing therapy: e.f.t. (Emotional Freedom
Technique) regressing him into a voyage of self re-discovery - where
buried memories of past relationships, one-night stands and a very
confused childhood - all come bubbling to the surface with hilarious,
painful and revelatory results!
This is a true-life tale of one mans journey into his sexual past… that at the age of 47 (and single again) turns into a quest for enlightenment and love… and maybe next time a beautiful young blonde comes floating into the bar, he might think twice (but probably not!)
Reviews
“The best thing that can happen in an Edinburgh August is finding
a show you have heard nothing about, going in with no expectations
and being completely bowled over… Peter Searles’ utterly charming,
bittersweet, seductive show is an unexpected pearl in the oyster on
the Seafood Platter of the Fringe… One of the loveliest laughter filled
hours I have seen.”
The Scotsman * * * *
‘“Part stand-up, part storytelling and part fantastic physical comedy…
Peter Searles’ new show could be one of the best things in Edinburgh
this year … It will be a sin if Searles isn’t nominated for at least
one award’

‘It's a joy !' The List Magazine * * * *
‘Brilliant… this is my kind of theatre – it's original, moving, honest,
thought-provoking, brave and incredibly funny. You've got to go and
see it!' I loved it… absolutely loved it… pure genius'
