Riding the Hype Train: Joe
The five (and a bit) shows Joe’s most excited about after a flick through the programme for this year.
Giant Leap
“Foul-mouthed” comedy about the team tasked with writing Neil Armstrong’s infamous ‘small step’ line... for a faked moon landing. Conspiracy theories tickle me at the best of times, and everything about this promises to be daft and hilarious and right up my street. [More information...]

Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons, Lemons

Moby Alpha
Outer space and classic literature hold almost opposite positions on the list of Things I’m Interested In, so I was sitting on the fence for a while about Moby Alpha, a two-man retelling of Moby Dick set in space. But the only lighting is from LED strips around the visors of the actors, and that I’m definitely into. [More information...]
Honorable mention cause I’ll probably chicken out of actually seeing it: Fiction
It’s in total darkness and you wear headphones. I feel like I’ll regret seeing this, but I’ll also regret not going. [More information...]
