Needy

30 Sept - 1 Oct 2025

Needy

Needy is a dark comedy that follows Fin who finds himself in a service station where he meets Owen, the station cashier. Fin quickly become enthralled with Owen and asks if he can stay round his since Fins housemate is rather annoyingly still at home… Dead. These two lonely strangers see their meeting as an opportunity to fill a hole, and their lives become entangled for better or worse. A story filled with cucumbers, sexy times, police encounters, and a seance, Needy is a dark, unusual comedy about what we need deep down inside, and the lengths we’ll go to get it.
