Andrew O'Neill, Dani Frankenstein and Sean McLoughlin come to Back Door @ The Secombe for a night mixing the darkness of Halloween and the explosive fun of fireworks.

He has showered the TV with his presence, (including Never Mind The Buzzcocks, and Saxondale with Steve Coogan) and lots of radio (including BBC Radio 1, Radio 4, Radio 4 Extra, and 5live) but live is where the hidden mind-control signals planted in his work are most effective.

He’s opened for Amanda Palmer off of the Dresden Dolls, done audience warm-up for Never Mind the Buzzcocks, hosted the Metal Hammer Golden Gods, played at Torture Garden and the Bizarre Magazine Ball and load of other events where people mainly wear shiny things.
