Jazz Twemlow: Disgruntalist

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.
