This October in Luton: 'Made You Look' is a visceral and explosive one-man poetry show interrogating masculinity and what it means to be an immigrant in a Britain growing increasingly hostile towards minorities and women.

Writer and performer Ty’rone Haughton delivers a fiercely honest and lyrically rich piece that dives deep into masculinity, identity, vulnerability, and survival.

Watch it before anyone else! 👀 Aaron Simmonds brings Happy Ending (WIP) to Luton this July! A show can have a happy ending, but can life?

"Amiable, likeable, and a commanding presence on stage, Aaron Simmonds is an exciting talent" Broadway Baby

Aaron talks about the gig that went so badly he wanted to give up stand-up comedy, meeting the person he wanted to spend his life with and the funniest thing he’s ever done at a funeral (which happens to be the funniest thing he’s ever done.) No masseuses were harmed in the making of this show.
