John Knowles is a writer / performer with a growing reputation for his monologues based on theatrical characters: 'Toby Belch is Unwell' 'A must see' Prague Fringe 2019, 'Caliban's Codex' and 'Fiction Romance'. John is also planning a tour of his play 'Bar Barian' in Serbia in 2020 as well as developing a new play to tour the UK canal system in 2020, 'The Grit of Life' with music by Rory McLeod.
John's work is edgy, dark and humorous and pulls no punches. This his latest piece is a personal exploration of male violence, the anger of the white male working classes and of the rise of the Alt-Right and the anti-PC backlash currently swelling up like the fatbergs of putrid filth, under our seemingly safe suburban streets.
