60 minutesJust The Cask Room
A failed rockstar stumbles into band management to live the dream vicariously. From 90s London to the present day, through changing music scenes and a new digital landscape, this funny, bittersweet tale explores ambition, identity and knowing when to stop... or not. Adapted from his new book Soho Days, Camden Nights, Andy Macleod returns to the Fringe with this one-man show – a follow-up to his critically acclaimed 2022 show Anoint My Head, described by The Scotsman as 'charmingly ramshackle catnip.'

About Andy MacLeod

Andy MacLeod's one-man show follows a failed rockstar who stumbles into band management to live the dream vicariously. Moving through London's changing music scenes from the nineties to the present day, it's a funny, bittersweet tale about ambition, identity and knowing when to stop — or not. Adapted from his book Soho Days, Camden Nights, the show blends storytelling and music across 60 minutes at Just The Cask Room.

Why see this show?

Bittersweet and disarmingly honest, this one-man show finds real warmth in the gap between dreams and reality. MacLeod's storytelling draws on music, identity and the London scene in a way that feels personal rather than performed.
