Coffee house layabout, armchair revolutionary and poet Jonny Fluffypunk has become a dad. Who is he to shape a young life? An off the wall and poignant lo-fi stand-up spoken word theatre show about big dreams and little victories, about fatherhood and finding the hero within, however unpromising the exterior. Contains references to anarcho-syndicalism. 'Sublime ... well-crafted, tender and life-affirming. Highly recommended' (FringeReview.co.uk). 'Acute social observation, intricate humour, surreal fantasy, sharp irony and wit' (Independent). 'This man truly relishes language. Go see him!' (Tony Allen, the godfather of alternative comedy).

Bohemian layabout, armchair revolutionary and poet Jonny Fluffypunk has become a father. Who is he to shape a young life? Man Up, Jonny Fluffypunk!: Part lo-fi spoken word theatre, part stand-up, part publicly-funded cry for help. Man Up is a funny and poignant little show about big dreams and little victories, about fatherhood and insecurity, about finding the hero within, however unpromising the exterior. A defiant expedition to the heart of the struggle for self-belief, even, armed only with a cardboard suitcase. WARNING: Contains anarcho-syndicalism and amateur puppetry.

After debuting at the Brighton Fringe Festival in May 2014, the show has played in venues as diverse as a Gloucestershire shed, WOMAD Festival and Leicester Square Theatre. Currently scheduling a tour for late spring / early summer 2015. A tour, hopefully, of odd and unusual spaces, taking live art and laughter into garden sheds, living rooms, back rooms of cafes... that sort of thing. If you've got a shed, a living room, a cafe sporting a back room, or anything a few people can squeeze into, without being rained on, then let's talk. Hopefully there'll be funding. And cake.
