He’s also a nerd who loves comics, critical hits, cartoons and Charmanders.
Join him dissect friendship, growing up, anarchism, feminism & dinosaurs.
Think a wand-wielding Joe Strummer battling a Tory-voting Darth Vader.
With The Avengers smashing the box office and everyone in the world now owning an Adventure Time t-shirt, does that mean geekiness is now mainstream?
Is punk deader than Ned Stark*? Where are the underground scenes redefining punk rock?
How can we destroy the sexism & bigotry of #GamerGate like blowing up a Death Star*?
So grab your cosplay costume and celebrate an underground culture for introverts, outsiders, the nerds and punks.
Henry is a performance poet from York who has toured the UK, performed at Boomtown Fair, Latitude Festival and various front rooms.
