It's human nature

ANIMAL is the unmissable laugh-out-loud comedy about dating, friendship and being loved for who you truly are.

David is gay, disabled and looking for love. He can’t eat, drink or shower by himself and has never even been kissed – let alone the rest.

As he sets off on a sexual and romantic adventure, armed with a fierce brain and impressive nudes (that he has to get someone else to take), can he manage the thrill and uncertainty of dating after a lifetime of knock-backs?
