Gary is a catch, on Facebook at least. He’s virtually a virtual dream man – smart, funny, profound. A certified 'Lad'. He even likes all the same things as Susie – cheeky full-fat lattes, One Born Every Minute and the divine melodies of Mick Hucknall and Simply Red.

Love 2.0 is an outrageous new comedy about dating in the age of social media, where Facebook profiles are brought to vivid life on stage and nothing is quite what it seems.
Love 2.0 reveals itself to be an endearing little show which tackles its unpromising and potentially nauseating subject matter with a fair degree of flair and accomplishment.
Provides some hilarious and often frighteningly insightful moments.
All this is conveyed with increasingly manic brio by Lucy Goldie and Samuel Keefe in a refreshingly cynical comic dissection of virtual courting worth logging on to throughout its extensive tour.
Love 2.0 does have something more serious to say about how we use social media and the ease in which it can corrupt, but this is second place to a lively, laughter-filled performance.
With its recognisable one-liners and a fully committed twosome, it's a fine, fun, fizzy scrutiny of how Twitter etc can make Twits of us all.
On Tour, from Sunday March 1, 2015, until Thursday March 19, 2015.
