One of the viral stars of last year, Andy King, is heading out on a series of UK tour shows this spring – including an evening at UCL in London on May 2.
The event producer found unlikely fame after appearing in Netflix’s Fyre Festival documentary, which followed preparations for the fraudulent luxury festival in the Bahamas.
King became an instant meme after offering to “do whatever it takes” to save the event – revealing the moment he almost committed to offering oral sex to a customs officer in order to get fresh water shipped to festival site.
Thankfully, his efforts were never required, but his team player ethic and commited attitude made him a star online – even earning him the nickname "the blowjob king of the world".
King will discuss his experiences of the disastrous event, as well as analysing how Fyre became one of the most high-profile failures in festival history.
Over the course of the hour-and-a-half ‘Fyreside chat’ shows, he’ll also speak about sustainability and how social media can be a force for good in the modern age. There will also be a 30-minute audience Q&A.
