Mr vast at The Samuel Worth Chapel
Mr Vast – aka Henry Sargeant – trained as an actor and ‘dark clown’ before
veering off into music as frontman for the legendary Wevie Stonder, dubbed by
the BBC as “the Monty Python of electronic music”. Expanding on the same brand
of anarchic comedy and wild fusion of musical influences, Mr Vast is a one-man
show that resists easy definitions: a slapstick cabaret, a surrealist happening, an
avant-garde concert, a tragicomic carnival, an ecstatic ritual.
Carrying the torch of the Great English Eccentric and music hall variety
performance into the post-Brexit 21st century, Mr Vast also draws on the Theatre
of the Absurd, the archetype of the fool and international folk traditions in his
weird & wonderful characters, costumes, masks and props. A metamorphic
presence and shamanic compère, Vast takes audiences on journeys into fantastic
new worlds, summoning the deepest desires and fears from our collective
unconscious.
Equally at home on stage at festivals, comedy venues or nightclubs, Mr Vast
has a diverse global fanbase devoted to his unique style of off-kilter electronica
and inspired lyricism, showcased in unpredictable live sets where barriers
between performer and audience are always broken down. Behind the multiple
personalities of Mr Vast lies a deeply human, vulnerable artist seeking connection
and catharsis, one who aims to triumph over adversity with shared fun and
laughter.
£10 plus booking fee.
