BINCELS

26 Sept 2025

BINCELS

Three Incels. One bin. A manosphere at boiling point. This is NOT a safe space.

Shift+Enter into the Bin of society to meet our three antagonists, Alexander, Sickandar and Vince, who are hatching rotten plots to defeat the imminent threat of a “femoid” takeover. Will their schemes triumph? Or will they be thwarted by unexpected forces?

Through the lens of satire, parody, drag and burlesque, this surreal and clowny performance will take you on a journey into the manosphere and the psyche of the involuntarily celibate (“Incel”) communities it comprises of. We challenge the audience to keep an open mind as we delve into this online subculture and examine the algorithmic echo chambers that fuel its fracturing from wider society. We also challenge you to notice any echo chambers that might exist in your own world and lived experiences. You may not be as immune to the Algo overlords as you might think...

See you there, if you dare.

Tommyrot Productions first debuted the concept of this show at a big bang scratch night at Camden Peoples Theatre after they were selected to perform in their 2025 SPRINT Festival. Bringing a full length work in progress to the Lambeth Fringe is an exciting next step in the company’s development of this new work and they can’t wait to reveal what they’ve got in store for you all.
