About the Show

A sharp, comedic look at love and heartbreak in your late twenties—who's really seducing whom?

Thanks for Having Me is a witty and incisive exploration of modern romance and heartbreak as you navigate the final stretch of your twenties. Blending sharp humor with raw honesty, the play questions who holds the power in love and attraction. Written and performed by Keelan Kember, whose previous work, February Face, played to sold-out audiences at the Old Red Lion, earned a Standing Ovation Award nomination for New Writing, and was later developed as a TV pilot. The play went on to critically acclaimed runs at King’s Head Theatre and Riverside Studios. Now, Kember returns with another bold and entertaining take on love, desire, and the messy in-between.

Critic Reviews (6)

"Keelan Kember’s writing is already fantastic and never waivers throughout – I just got the overwhelming sense that this isn’t the finished product just yet and the best may still be to come for this exciting new production"

"A 70-minute run-time is too short perhaps to expect significant character development, though the piece rattles along at speed and covers quite a lot of conversational ground."

"It’s uncomfortable, messy, and quietly devastating. But it’s also funny, tender, and achingly human."

"It flows like a clear stream, light and refreshing, far more enjoyable than the many productions striving for thematic reflections, but eventually sink into muddy, pretentious murkiness."

"There’s a much tighter play in here, one that takes bigger risks in its staging and physical comedy"

"The jokes really land in this one, but the story is lighter than air."
