David’s One-Man Band (F*ck You, Steven)

David is about to play the gig of a lifetime: headlining Sticky Floors, the coolest under-16s band night in the Bay Area. But when his bandmate flakes on their one shot at emo stardom, David must embark on his music career alone. David’s One-Man Band (F*ck You, Steven) is a character comedy with live music about a thirteen-year-old boy who dreams of being a rockstar. The emo love child of Freaks and Geeks and Spinal Tap, it’s a mid-noughties nostalgia bomb of teenage awkwardness, angsty poetry and songs with ridiculously long titles.

Premiered at Edinburgh Fringe, 2025
