Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show, On tour
He may feature in blockbusters such as Alice In Wonderland and Hot Tub Time Machine these days, but nobody could accuse Crispin Glover of selling out. Between his mainstream gigs, the singularly strange actor has been busy turning out curious "novels" – usually reinterpretations of antiquated illustrated texts – and curiouser movies. His directing debut, What Is It?, combining actors with Down's syndrome, naked women and lots of snails, drew comparisons with Buñuel and Jodorowsky; its similar successor, It Is Fine! Everything Is Fine, follows a serial killer with cerebral palsy. If that's not weird enough for you, Glover also performs from his works ("reads" is too sedate a word for it) to a slideshow and holds audience Q&As.
