Eli Matthewson - Blood Bender (Edinburgh Fringe)

Eli just became the first ever New Zealander to move to London, after applying for the "youth" visa on the last possible week he was eligible. He's ready to be a star and the only things in his way are his age and the impending apocalypse. From his brief ballet career to the lofty heights of performing at Dining In The Dark, Eli is ready to share it all to win you over... including the horrific story of his first visit to a gay sauna.
