Tinderella & the eight unique uses of Tinder
Is a one human show created and performed by me, Alyce Fisher.
It explores real life tales of my very own Tinder escapades, investigates contemporary app dating culture and aims to empower everyone to take control of their own app dating experience.

The Far South Coast 2025 tour of Tinderella has been supported via the Arts On Tours Backroads Fund.
2022 Premiere Co-Produced by The Cube Wodonga
Tinderella is a comedy cabaret, which has been strongly influenced by Disney characters, features a bespoke mockumentary film, an informative Ted Talk (or as we call it TIT Talk), audience interaction/participation, a magic wand and two life size condom costumes. The Character of the Fairy Godmother acts as the narrator, guiding the audience through the twisting tales of our girl Tinderella, who is very much so focused on delivering her very informative TIT Talk. Tinderella is a rollicking good time, super funny and has a whole lot of heart.
Suited for audiences 18+, running time 50minutes, Tinderella is for comedy and cabaret lovers, anyone who has experienced the highs and the lows of the dating apps and those who are curious as to how it all works.
‘Tinderella is a witty and insightful dive into the sometimes dark and funny land of dating apps. Highly entertaining and very relatable this interactive one-woman show will have you laughing (and then crying) at the sad and sorry state of dating today.’

Show History
One night, back in 2018, at a community rehearsal for a staged reading for someone else’s show, I was regaling the cast with tales of my creative Tinder escapades, I had everyone in fits of laughter as I shared stories of the many unique uses of Tinder I had achieved. It was on this night that I was anointed the title of ‘Tinderella’ by Albury based drag artist Yawana Fork. From here the idea of creating a one human show, exploring my innovative uses of dating apps was born.
In 2019, after drafting up a concept for ‘Tinderella & the eight unique uses of Tinder’, it was pitched to The Cube Wodonga, who committed to supporting the development of the work and I was on my way to creating my first ever one human show for their 2020 Season. Then I got pregnant (not a unique use of Tinder but a unique use of Grindr, which is a whole other show) was fully intending to perform the show 7+ months pregnant, then COVID happened, and the 2020 dates got cancelled, the 2021 dates got cancelled and the show was finally realised in April 2022.
