The Artist Formally Known as William Penswick is back to present his 'finest' poetry, prose and performance in another attempt to get the critical and financial backing he desperately needs. Will Penswick is a character comedy performer, writer and producer. From the mind of Will Penswick comes a fearsome trio of comic creations: an eye-scratchingly bad poet (that he is reprising and re-imagining for this VAULT), an eye-catchingly dressed Scandi detective for his 2018 show: 'Will Penswick: Nordic(k)' and an eye-don't know what called Ollie Pfizer-Caskey, an electronic music fanatic who reviews fictional events from around the globe at 'Home Is Where The House Is'. He loves his audience interaction, he loves his nonsensical art and he loves his mum. StraightUp Productions was founded in 2017 by Mark Bittlestone, Will Dalrymple and Will Penswick. StraightUp was originally a live theatre and comedy production company before the three not-so-wise men realised that they had neither the gravitas nor the common sense to pull off the theatre side of things. But focusing now on comedy, StraightUp host two monthly comedy nights at their home venue - Landor Space, Clapham North - where they have hosted the likes of Ed Gamble, Suzi Ruffell, Ahir Shah, Maisie Adam, Kiri Pritchard-McLean and Shazia Mirza. They also take shows to UK comedy festivals every year and are currently using VAULT to preview their work in progress shows for 2020's festivals. 12+ Tags: Character Comedy,Feel Good,Work In Progress *Contains adult themes and occasional strong language
