James Veitch: Dot Con

James Veitch spent the past year responding to as many scam emails as he could.

Suspicious emails detailing un-claimed insurance bonds and friends marooned in another country - these pop-up in our inboxes and our standard procedure is to delete on sight. But what would happen if we replied?

Packed full of Nigerian princes, can’t-miss investment opportunities and eligible Russian brides, James' correspondence led to surprising, bizarre and usually hilarious results. Through a blend of traditional stand-up, interactive projections and music, he will take his audience on a journey through the schemes, investigating the nature of scamming, whilst exploring its role in our connected world.

James will also explore his own psyche as he tries to understand why he finds pushing these cyber con artists to their limits so very satisfying. Quirky, fast-paced and relatable, it’s theatre for the modern world, a show for anyone with a dream… and an email account.
