Chicken Soup Dates arrives at Soho Theatre

This summer, Soho Theatre throws open its doors once more to the gloriously unhinged Howard and Michelle Fissure – ultra-Orthodox, sex-positive love gurus with a unique approach to matchmaking. Whether you’re looking for love, marriage guidance or kosher sex tips, their seminar-cum-workshop is guaranteed to change the course of your love life forever (or at the very least you’ll get a free bowl of chicken soup).

‘CHICKEN SOUP DATES’ is a riotous character comedy show from award-winning comedian and Tiktok sensation Candy Gigi and Tom Joseph, best-known as hosts of notorious Queer Jewish Cabaret Clubnight BUTTMITZVAH.

The Fissure’s doors are wide open to lovers of all denominations. Whether you’re Jewish, gentile, single, married, or spiritually bankrupt, the Fissures are here to help you find your one true mensch. Their new one-hour show is full of warped relationship advice based on their own lived-experience of marriage. SPOILER ALERT: they’re first cousins none removed.

Recently-qualified Rabbi Howard is on hand to answer any audience questions. Ever wondered where to buy Kosher Sex Toys? Howard will upsell you his very own product range and demonstrate them live. And his matchmaker wife Michelle will do her damndest to fulfil the commandment of ‘go forth and multiply’, by getting a couple of audience members hitched and a baby conceived before night’s out.

Expect fast-tracked Jewish conversion therapy (including discounted circumcisions), educational videos and powerpoints, unqualified couples counselling, bagel-charged speed dating, at least one wedding and—naturally—chicken soup on tap.

This is the world’s most unholy love and dating experience.
