DARREN MCGARVEY
THE SOCIAL DISTANCE BETWEEN US
If all the best people are in all the best jobs, why is Britain such a f*cking bin fire? Orwell prize-winning author, BAFTA nominated broadcaster and celebrated hip-hop artist Darren McGarvey poses this awkward question and more in a new show centred around his recent book, The Social Distance Between Us. With its unpredictable ask-me-anything format, audience members shape the performance and no two nights are the same. McGarvey’s 60-minute high-wire act confronts the scandal of class-inequality with passion, humility and an optimal dose of humour.
Darren McGarvey’s Addictions won Factual Series at the BAFTA Awards Scotland ceremony on the 20th of November 2022.
Congratulations to all the nominees and winners.
