About Michael Anderson
Elvis in Chaos is a free multimedia spoken word show by Michael Anderson, an amateur company, at Lime Studio. The performance is a hallucinatory PowerPoint experience covering Elvis's branching timelines, romance in the multiverse, the top five gods of all time, the politics of the Oreo cookie, the quantum physics of baseball pitching and how bagpipes caused the Black Death. A fire hose of images powers Anderson's ecstatic rants — described as a manic series of hilarious TED Talks. Anderson is a two-time winner of the Festival of Bad Ad Hoc Hypotheses, performing at MIT and Imperial College London. All proceeds go to immigrant-defence networks in Boston, USA. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 14 and above.

A wildly original multimedia lecture-performance that runs at full speed from start to finish. Michael Anderson's two-time win at the Festival of Bad Ad Hoc Hypotheses tells you exactly what to expect: absurdist rigour, genuine comedy and a mind running at maximum. Free to attend.
