Relatable Character of the Month: Kingsley This month we're feeling...

If there was ever an awkward virgin who summed up university life succinctly, it would be Fresh Meat’s Kingsley (played by Joe Thomas), aka ‘The Pussy Man’. A new stab at college life has me wanting to grow a soul patch and maybe even play the guitar at some political occupy movements because that’s what students do… right?

Even if Fresh Meat wasn’t already a (student) household name, Kingsley aka ‘K-Man’ is definitely a relatable (student) household presence. Easily overwhelmed, a little confused, and weirdly malleable, he’s permanently one step behind. Having come from living alone with his mother, university is his chance to start afresh, beginning with his love life. K-Man arrives at college a virgin, but leaves behind a string of lovers. He is in a constant battle to find himself, caught between very serious relationships and being desperately single, a poignant reflection on his weak will and quick infatuations. His first season self, complete with thinly veiled stories and early thrills at the first taste of college freedom, will always feel relatable.

Upon finding himself an Italian girlfriend, K-Man comes into his own as a panini-loving, aioli-eating, vespa-driving, campari-drinking Geology student with no direction. And we love every minute of it.

Most likely to say: “I was hoping to make languorous love rather than clang our genitals together like a pair of sex-bots.”

Least likely to say: “I’m over uni, let’s go home.”
