Waterloo East Theatre presents the European Premier of

Grindr Mom

by Ronnie Larsen

​

Starring

Jessica Martin

​​​

A comedy about faith, family, and very unexpected connections. When a Mormon mom joins Grindr… heaven help her gay son.

​

When a well‑meaning Mormon mother discovers her son is gay, she does what any loving — and wildly misguided — parent might do… she joins Grindr. Determined to “protect” him from the temptations of modern life, she launches an undercover mission armed with faith, optimism, and absolutely no idea what she’s about to encounter.

​

What follows is a riotous plunge into a world of torsos, tribes, and very unexpected notifications as she stumbles through the chaos of queer dating culture with saintly enthusiasm and zero subtlety.

This funny, fast‑paced comedy is brought to life in a dazzling solo performance by multi‑talented West End and TV star Jessica Martin. 

​

A show bursting with heart, hilarity, and high‑camp chaos, Grindr Mom is a story about love, acceptance, and the spectacular messes we make when we care just a little too much.​
