How I Came To Be Where I Never Was Theatre & Performing Arts


Low-fi stand-up spoken-word theatre

About unrequited love and youth club and John Peel and the forgotten gods of small record shops

An energetic and uplifting show about the small things in life, fusing elements of theatre, storytelling, comedy, ‘stand-up poetry’ (think John Cooper-Clarke not John Keats) and even a bit of ukulele.

How do you find yourself when you find yourself where you don't belong? Jonny Fluffypunk grew up in the far-flung, forgotten reaches of outer suburbia. In 1984, he was fifteen. About unrequited love and youth club and John Peel and the forgotten gods of small record shops; about making your own myth and letting go and a million everyday life-changing moments in the back end of nowhere.

This is lo-fi stand-up spoken word theatre for anyone who has listened to late-night radio under the bedcovers, or fallen in love, or just been alive.

"a little work of genius"
"haphazard but utterly lovable coming of age story"
"a brilliant, hilarious and charismatic performer"
'Entertaining, bizarre, sparking life at a tremendous rate'
'Brilliant, evocative, eloquent'
