Review: FANBOY, VAULT Festival
Sellman-Leava’s piece was only a work-in-progress at the last pre-pandemic VAULT Festival. Since then, it’s had a run at Edinburgh last summer and a subsequent tour, growing into a surprisingly introspective and revelatory exploration of the effects of fanship.

Edinburgh 2022: Review: FANBOY, Pleasance Dome
Joe has always been a nerd. In his teens, he hid it. In his 20s, he owned it. Now, in his 30s, he's started to sense something: a great disturbance in the fandom... And when Joe finds himself alone, sorting through his old things, he finds an old video tape... and something incredible starts to happen!

BWW Review: MONSTER, VAULT Festival
As Joe is asked to prepare for a play about domestic assault based on Shakespeare's toxic males, his own relationships start to change. The second offering by Joe Sellman-Leava and Worklight Theatre for VAULT Festival is a defining and masterful performance. Monster is a journey through noxious masculinity, the performative aspect of it, and the glorification of violence.

BWW Review: LABELS, VAULT Festival
We all attach labels to people. Some - like friend, father, brother - are kinder than others. Joe Spellman-Leava explores the magnitude of sticking attributes to individuals in his extraordinarily intelligent solo show Labels. With Katharina Reinthaller's stunning direction, he analyses the breadth of racist abuse his family and then he experienced.
