'I realised that refuse loading wasn’t really going to go anywhere'
At the end of January 2020, Bolton-born performer Joe Leather was working on a show in Shanghai when he decided to come back to the UK for a couple of weeks. Little did he know that the pandemic would lead to that fortnight’s holiday becoming a little more permanent than imagined.
“At first, I was expecting it to be a certain type of person who worked there but there were actually all different types of people who did it and it was a really nice community.” But the two lives never collided. “I didn't really tell them what I did in the evenings,” Joe explains. “We did different rounds all the time so I wasn’t really with the same people most of the time. It just never really came up, but there was a part of me that was a little bit worried about how they’d take it."
It’s led to the creation of what is now Joe’s highly-praised show Wasteman. Fresh off the back of a sell-out run at the VAULT Festival in London having received two West End 'Offie' nominations, the show will arrive in Manchester at the The King's Arms in Salford on July 5-6 as part of the Greater Manchester Fringe.
Speaking about how audiences have perceived the show, Joe explains: “There’s been a really positive response to the show. It’s actually been quite overwhelming how well it’s gone down.”
