Kiss Me x is a stand-up and musical comedy show written and performed by Alex Franklin, directed by Kathy Maniura, and produced by Ethan Andrews. The show is a spirited exploration of love, romance, and navigating the dating world as a trans woman, blending absurdist comedy with heartfelt reflection and original songs. Franklin draws on PowerPoint presentations, one-liners, and biological knowledge to celebrate trans joy and self-acceptance. Franklin's previous Edinburgh show Gurl Code was nominated for the Brighton Fringe Comedy Award and transferred to Soho Theatre in London.
