About the Show
Steve Budd wonders why other people can tie the knot and he can’t. Oy, does he wonder! So he asked a bunch of couples what brought them together and keeps them from pulling apart. Meet a Jewish couple who met on Craigslist, an interfaith pair who met in costume—at a Halloween party, and more. Budd plays close to a dozen characters, using their own words taken from hours of interviews, and weaves in his relentless, heartfelt, and hilarious search for “the one.”
Artist Biography
Steve Budd has performed with such Bay Area theaters as the San Francisco Playhouse, New Conservatory, Custom Made, Central Works, and Marin Shakespeare. Budd’s previous solo show, “Seeing Stars,” enjoyed a 6-week run at The Marsh in 2024 and delighted audiences in San Diego and Fresno. “What They Said About Sex,” created from interviews, proved a crowd-pleaser in Washington, DC; San Diego; and Kansas City. His award-winning solo show “What They Said About Love” (Best of the 2016 SF Fringe, among other accolades), also built from interviews, has performed to packed houses in San Francisco, LA, Indianapolis, New York, Boston, Ottawa, and London. “Oy, What They Said About Love” is the newest mashup of personal storytelling and documentary theater from an award-winning solo performer who “sparkles with manic and irrepressible charm” (Theatrius).
