Numb - the Edge of Feeling (premiere book launch)

A warm, interactive event of live music, poetry, spoken work, physical theatre and improvisation, featuring sections from the book by Danny Scott and featuring professional and local community performers. Books will be on sale and there will be opportunity for Q&A and author signings.

Abandoned at just 15 months on a London street, Danny Scott's life began with harsh rejection – and the years that followed only deepened it. Children's homes. Foster care. The savage racially motivated bullying in school that pushed him to the edge of suicide. Expelled at 16, barely literate, his future looked non-existent. But then he had a life-changing encounter. Decades later, Danny has built an international performing career spanning 40 countries – from corporate boardrooms to prison cells, prestigious universities to youth detention centres, stages and performing arts academies to psychiatric wards.

“This is a very brave book… utterly compelling – heart-breaking yet profoundly uplifting” Adrian Snell

“An awe-inspiring story of courage and immense resilience” Martyn Joseph

“A legend – a remarkable guy and one of the most gifted people I know in his field…” Patrick Regan (OBE)
