A perfect fit for Durham Fringe Presents Halloween special...

Lewis Brown is a Newcastle-based poet and spoken word performer, fascinated with horror, alienation and queerplatonic love. He has been featured in anthologies and periodicals, performed in galleries and graveyards, and published the Spooky Poet Club anthology.

See Lewis perform alongside two other acts -- all vastly different but all perfectly suited to a spooky evening!

The Academy is thrilled to be hosting a performance of Meteor, Incoming by in just a couple of weeks!

ABOUT THE SHOW⬇
At a small-town Comic Con, superfan Matt is mistaken for famous actor Dick Chase and is thrust on stage for a live Q+A where he inadvertently implicates his hero in a series of scandals. A hilarious farce ensues, as Matt and his friend Larna attempt to salvage Dick’s reputation. If the pair are to save the day, they must swerve savage TV execs, scoop-hungry reporters, and an overzealous policeman, all while navigating the asteroid field of teenage awkwardness!
