TROY HAWKE: WORK IN PROGRESS
Troy Hawke is an erudite, home-schooled 1930s throwback and chaos magnet.
Star of the viral Greeters Guild videos (with over a million followers on every platform), Troy Hawke is back sleuthing and on the case for a ONE NIGHT ONLY work in progress show at Up the Creek.
Educated, sophisticated but utterly clueless. Navigating conversational minefields both online and in real life, he encounters angry security guards, barked compliments and crossed wires at every turn. What began as a non-consensual customer-service shift outside TK Maxx in Macclesfield has led him around the world and straight into the orbit of major sporting icons. He’s confused Premiership footballers, been threatened by heavyweight boxers, and improved the vocabulary of Formula 1 legends.
The high street’s savviest sleuth takes on modern life one compliment at a time, exploring why a well-dressed man simply being nice has caused such a kerfuffle.
