Maybe it was the tight confines and low light of the Factory's shipping container stage, maybe it was the slightly dishevelled suit, or maybe it was the strangely endearing desperation – whatever it was, Jazz Twemlow's Disgruntalist felt like a first date.
A logician and mathematician of the morose and morbid, Twemlow's subtly politicised humour introduces the man and much of what fuels his abundant distrust and disdain – and does so with such astute reason as to win over almost anyone.
By some miracle, for all his barely contained fury, Twemlow is likeable, really likeable – and while he may not like being 'hot' and 'rising' for more than decade, he's far from burnt.
