Jerker is alternatively titled “The Helping Hand, A Pornographic Elegy with Redeeming Social Value and A Hymn to the Queer Men of San Francisco in Twenty Telephone Calls, Many of them Dirty.” Jerker is premiering at Waterloo East Theatre this Autumn with a limited 3-week run from 26 September 2026.
JERKER is a daring and seductive play about two strangers who connect through a series of late-night phone calls. What begins as an anonymous fantasy quickly deepens into something more profound.
Hidden from each other’s sight, the men reveal their secrets, fears, and longings through their voices alone. Each call pulls them further into an intimate world where imagination becomes a lifeline, blurring the line between fantasy and genuine connection, and raising the question of who they truly are to one another.
By turns playful, provocative, and unexpectedly tender, the play explores how intimacy can flourish in isolation. It is a steamy, suspenseful journey into desire, vulnerability, and the power of being heard.
18+ Contains strong descriptive language of a sexual nature and nudity.
Cast & Creatives: To be confirmed.
Jerker runs from 26 September 2026 to 18 October 2026 at Waterloo East Theatre, Brad Street, London SE1 8TN, United Kingdom.
