Archived show

This show is from a previous year's festival

Nick Helm returns to Machfest this year with the first finished debut of his new show. A collection of poems, songs and ramblings dealing with what it is like to lose everything you had and held dear in your life for no good reason. It might be funny, it might be sad. It might be bleak as fuck. He is still finishing it off and probably will be until moments before stepping onto the stage, but then isn’t this the true spirit of Machfest?

Star of BBC3’s Sweat the Small Stuff, Live at the Electric (Series One) and winner of a Loaded LAFTA award and Dave’s Best Joke of 2011, Nick Helm would greatly appreciate you turning up and making it less awkward for not only himself, but the potentially small audience of Nick Helm’s Heavy Entertainment fans that have shown up and the venue staff, who I don’t know if you’ve ever had to cancel a gig due to low attendance, but there’s something about their sad, sad eyes that will haunt you till your dying day.
