The ‘remarkable’ (Scotsman) and bite-sized Jack AG Britton presents Mighty; a TED-talk-meets-theatre show that combines comedy, live music and spoken word to ask the big (or little) question: should we be taking heightism more seriously?
Often whimsical, sometimes woeful, Mighty delves into masculinity, body image and mental health in a documentary performance that could just about make it onto the best rides at Alton Towers.
Reviews:
“Mighty is not just a show. It is a way in which Britton, so often over-looked, can make himself visible. He commands the stage. He is mighty.” - Lyn Gardner for Stagedoor

‘From complex to astonishing, Mighty is a strong and clever production’ ★★★★ Creative Reviews UK

Jumps from 2023, absolutely brilliant year of training. Lots of fun new creative ways to move discovered.
Jumps from 2021. Lots of solo lockdown training in this one.
Haunted by curiosity, a young man attempts to piece together the ghost story of his childhood home. Suspend your disbelief and follow an investigation that spirals beyond rationality. In the search for answers witnesses relive their encounters; presences emerge from the walls and the fragile lines between normal and paranormal blur exponentially. This show goes bump in the night.

An interactive film night. (2018-2019)
Cinema Para-Discount was a film night like no other, artists were given the chance to create an interactive screening that celebrates and enhances a film of their choice. Using a mixture of mass audience interaction, costumes and props, performance and lighting artists created a unique cinematic experience. Often hosted within Leicester’s Attenborough Arts Centre, a venue that prioritises accessibility and quality programming, each event was be themed, whether it’s a summer blockbuster or a suspenseful horror each event offered a special (and probably chaotic) tribute to cult cinematic masterpieces.
This event provided an opportunity to see a really interesting clash between performance and cinema. Two genres of art that have little seamless interaction. The interactive element of the night gave a chance for audiences to see cinema experiences in a new and exciting way.
I've been writing and performing comedy music for the last ten years. The songs often consist of slightly twisted storytelling, with whimsical worlds and characters, my act has been described by Leicester's The Grade as 'Terrifying, yet fun'.

‘Sometimes we experience moments that can shape our futures; there’s this slight realisation as I’m floating through the air, that this will not end well.’
1.9 climbs bravely into the memories of a young man traversing the cityscapes of his hometown. As nostalgia for the days of callused hands, weightlessness and well worn trainers are explored; he attempts to recapture and reignite the vestige of a decaying passion.
