F*ck Tinder: a love story is comedic storytelling crack from The Moth champion David Rodwin. After getting held up at gunpoint the night his girlfriend breaks up with him, David moves to San Francisco and goes on dates with 120 women in 2 years - in search of love, but finding everything else. From a first date which was supposed to be a hook-up with a woman who unexpectedly brought along her infant, to being invited to a sex party by a woman who’d just told him “I love you,” David brings you on a journey you’re glad he took and you didn’t. Surprisingly, these crazy stories grow into a serious spiritual commentary on modern dating and mating, as well as a tale of love that takes a strange twist.

David Rodwin (Writer/Performer) has created seven one-man shows that have played in over 30 cities in the US & Europe. He is also writer/composer of five large-scale opera/musicals developed or produced at venues from American Opera Projects and The O’Neill to The Public Theatre and Mabou Mines. He's author of the book of F*ck Tinder: a love story and the memoir Never Meet Your Idols about living and working with his mentor Spalding Gray at an arts colony shortly before his suicide. David has worked in the writers’ rooms on several TV shows from CBS to Disney. And from 2001-2006, he was Producing Artistic Director of his NY-based non-profit Raw Impressions, Inc./RIPFest with which he produced the world premieres of 170 of ten-minute musicals at LaMaMa ETC as well as 60 short movie musicals with both emerging artists and Tony, Emmy and Oscar winners.

Critics declared:
“A phenomenal writer” - Stage And Cinema
“A master storyteller” - Theatre Eddys
“There are very few edgy storytellers with his gifts out there right now… Masters of the form like Spalding Gray and Eric Bogosian... David Rodwin does deserve to be mentioned in such company.” - Better Lemons

Audiences raved:
“Funny as f*ck!”
“A master class on vulnerability"
“An incredible balancing act to hold humor, edgy sex and divine inspiration all in one beautiful spot.”
“f*ck Tinder is one of the best shows I’ve seen… It’s as though he has nailed himself to the post-modern sex & love cross and is suffering for our sins.” - Bill Ratner, 8-time The Moth StorySLAM winner
