2017 Edinburgh Fringe
Dick In Space
The biggest Dick in the universe is on a plural mission: murder investigation, self-destruction and solving the riddles of the universe - taking on God, Napoleon and unruly human organs on the way. Provocative, challenging, deranged and hilarious - there is no greater fun than watching a personality shred and disintegrate completely before your eyes. Gasp as the psychotic intergalactic Dick hunts murder suspects, including femmes fatales and his own alter ego. This man is a whole universe unto himself and only he can stitch his personality together and unravel simultaneously.

Martin Walker, Broadway Baby, 19th June 2017More Details
Film noir murder meets existential madness as intergalactic Dick Spacey 0071/2 goes ape.
Dick is a whole universe unto himself and only he can stitch himself together and unravel simultaneously. Multiple murders, madness and mayhem as the biggest Dick in the cosmos tracks down a karmic killer, rampant vegetables, unstable body parts and irrational fears. Romantics call him an existential hero, psychiatrists call him ****ing bonkers. All he knows is - he's a dick on a mission, and it takes an hour of emotional carnage, lunatic problem solving, and physical endurance before he finally plants his mighty barrel in the killer's psyche.

He is currently writing a novel and a new play.
Reviews
This is the world premiere of Dick In Space. Dick Spacey made cameo appearances in an earlier comedy theatre show by Steve Attridge.
"This show is anarchic, gut-wrenchingly funny and full of wonderful theatrical surprises." Oxford Times.
"Dick Spacey... is Tom Waits as a stage character on amphetamines." Stratford Herald.
"Excellently funny - John Dowell meets Philip Marlowe." Evening Telegraph.
"Funniest and most provocative show I've seen this year...Dick Spacey is comically brilliant - my only criticism is that the jokes and puns come so quickly you have to concentrate all the time...Poignant, surprising, very funny." Oxford Mail
