About

A five-star hit at the Edinburgh Fringe, Joe Sellman-Leava's play “Fanboy” is a love-hate letter to pop culture and nostalgia.
It's the story of a thirty-something, self-confessed nerd—obsessed with Star Wars and Nintendo—asking why his generation can't let go of their childhoods.
“Fanboy” had a successful run at “Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2022” followed by a short regional tour and a week at Soho Theatre in November 2022. It was selected for “VAULT Festival 2023”.
