Total and Utter Audience Satisfaction is his middle name – finally, after a long and financially ruinous Deed Poll process. But he’s feeling uneasy. A review described his last show as ‘a bit much’. What? Was his seventeenth stage-dive too tastefully executed? Not this time. This time, he’s living up to his middle-namesake. Following multiple sell-out Soho Theatre runs, Jazz Emu is back with a brand new musical odyssey. Venue's website: arcwinchester.org.uk Venue's Facebook: facebook.com/arcwinch
