Leicester Comedy Festival 2021 – Digital Show
Comedian, Harry Wright tests out the makings of their debut show, Smalltown Boy. Harry treats us to insightful observations with a youthful and exciting voice.
Harry Wright brings their experience as a gay, autistic, young man to the stage, in their exciting, observational and original depiction of how they are perceived and how this contrasts with their reality. Since 2011, Harry has been making rooms laugh on open-spots and in new-act competitions,
and now they are ready to introduce themself to an eager audience who are just waiting to fall in love with their unique and modern voice.
Harry explores their autism and their sexuality, and how these intersect with their class identity, growing up in a deprived area of Yorkshire. They think they might be autistic because of their dad, who never gave accurate life advice despite being extremely blunt and northern. Harry has never
been able to find a good male role model and examines how sex, relationships and music have helped them become a better man, in theory anyway. Plus, numerous dick jokes.
