ARTISTIC POLICY
Julian Fox produces quirky, gently humorous and low-key one-man shows that combine storytelling, spoken word, electro-pop songs, home videos and dance to explore a range of idiosyncratic and frequently mundane personal tales and obsessions. Previous shows have extolled the virtues of the Seattle Coffee Company, Gatwick airport and the Brockwell Lido. His intimate, autobiographical work combines his charming and wryly comic view of the world, with an open sincerity and a way of making the mundane sound funny and interesting
