Back by popular demand, Gavin Roach and Dan Ireland-Reeves presents Sauna Boy – which will play The Motley Bauhaus: 28 January – 8 February, as part of the Midsumma Festival, before playing The Substation – Qtopia Sydney from 18 February, and The Warehouse Theatre, Adelaide from 4 March 2025.
Dan works at one of the UK’s most successful and infamous gay saunas. A place where men from all walks of life come to relax, socialise and most importantly… f*ck!
Join Dan as he navigates a hidden world of lust, friendship and unorthodox working relationships. From multi-award-winning writer/performer, Dan Ireland-Reeves, comes a semi-autobiographical look behind the curtain of one of the world’s most secretive and seductive industries.
Pulsing with frenetic energy and laced with sexual tension; Sauna Boy is guaranteed to touch you in more ways than one.
Dan Ireland-Reeves is based in the UK and trained at Birmingham School of Acting. He is an accomplished writer, performer, and theatre maker. His career has taken him across the globe, where he’s performed and developed a wide range of original works, specialising in solo theatre and LGBTQ+ themes.
Sauna Boy premiered at The Motley Bauhaus, as part of the 2024 Midsumma Festival and has been touring the international fringe circuit ever since. This critically-acclaimed production has enjoyed sold-out performances in every city it has visited and won the Oscar Wilde for best writing at the International Dublin Gay Theatre Festival 2024.
