F*ck Tinder: a love story at Capital Fringe Festival

F*ck Tinder: a love story is comedic storytelling crack from The Moth champion David Rodwin. After getting held up at gunpoint the night his girlfriend breaks up with him, David moves to San Francisco and goes on dates with 120 women in 2 years - in search of love, but finding everything else. From a first date which was supposed to be a hook-up with a woman who unexpectedly brought along her infant, to being invited to a sex party by a woman who’d just told him “I love you,” David brings you on a journey you’re glad he took and you didn’t. Surprisingly, these crazy stories grow into a serious spiritual commentary on modern dating and mating, as well as a tale of love that takes a strange twist.
