Combining epic storytelling, razor-sharp impressions and a dose of theatrical magic, Fanboy plays Lighthouse Pole on Thursday 2 November. 

Winner of Best Director in the Darkchat Edinburgh Awards 2022 Fanboy is a love-hate letter to pop culture and nostalgia in which award-winning writer-performer Joe Sellman-Leava explores our relationship to our past and future selves, and asks why his generation is so obsessed with its childhood.  

Joe has always been a nerd. In his teens, he hid it. In his twenties, he owned it. Now in his thirties, Joe is still obsessed with Star Wars, Nintendo and The Muppet Christmas Carol.  

But he’s started to sense something: a great disturbance in the fandom… Alone, sorting through his old things, Joe finds an old video tape, in an old VCR, long forgotten. He presses play – and something amazing starts to happen…
