Summary
Nick Helm grunts and sweats his way through a hilarious hurricane of jokes, songs, poetry and swearing, all the while undergoing a total emotional breakdown on stage. We encounter the soft-spoken and articulate theatre-maker behind the heavy metal mask, exploring how he structures his epic shows, the origin of his bombast, and his feelings on his starring role in BBC3's “Uncle”.

| 1:18.1 | Hello and welcome to the show. I'm Stuart Goldsmith and we've got about seven more episodes from the Edinburgh shows from last festival to bang out, |
