Is The WiFi Good In Hell? theatre review: Growing pains in Margate
Growing up gay in the 2000’s is put under the spotlight in this nostalgia-hewed journey of discovery

Join 12-year-old Dev on a decade-long coming-of-age journey as he strives to get out of his sleepy seaside town and make his way to London, navigating what it was like to be gay during the 2000’s. Along the way we meet prominent figures from throughout Dev’s life including best friend Ang, plus Bobby, Luke and Barney. There are blasts from the past for millennials (and older): Bebo, Jane Norman bags, Black Eyed Peas’ ‘Boom Boom Pow’, foundation on lips.
Along the way, we witness Dev realising he is gay, hiding his sexuality, then coming out and experiencing Tinder and the big city’s gay clubs. The show is a rollercoaster of very raw emotions, moving seamlessly from one part of Dev’s life to the next, offering a true insight into the growing pains of a teenage boy growing up gay in the ‘dystopian wasteland’ of Margate.
Is The WiFi Good In Hell?, Underbelly Cowgate, until 25 August, 12.40pm.
