Joe Sellman-Leava’s Fanboy heads out on tour this October

Fresh from the Edinburgh Fringe, Joe Sellman-Leava is heading on tour with his show Fanboy.

Fringe First award-winner Joe Sellman-Leava (Labels; Monster) will take the production on the road from 6 – 22 October 2022.

Writer and performer Joe Sellman-Leava said: “It’s been such a joy to perform Fanboy to audiences, and to hear their responses afterwards.

“The creative team and I re so happy about how the show is resonating with people – particularly the way people open up about their own memories and childhoods. We can’t wait for more people to see it as the show tours!”

This love-hate letter to pop culture and nostalgia explores our past and future selves through epic storytelling, razor-sharp impressions and a dose of theatrical magic.

Joe’s teen obsessions with Nintendo, Star Wars and A Muppets Christmas Carol have continued into his thirties. But he’s started to notice something about the way certain fans are behaving – something unsettling.

Fanboy doesn’t just question our love for superheroes; it also considers fandom of political figures and the protectionism that can build around certain icons and the language and responses that are then generated online.
