I can’t wait to be back out on the road with the Irresistible Monsters! I had so much fun writing about them in all their strangeness, and now I get to take a stand-up show about them into theatres all over the country. We're collaborating with local bookshops at each stop, too.

You know how I love to squish an entire epic poem into 28 minutes…? Well, here comes Apollonius’ Argonautica - a wildly allusive, clever, playful version of the myth of the voyage of the Argo. I played with it in turn when I wrote No Friend, so here it is on its own terms (with added jokes).
