First off we have a totally amazing guest … from WEDNESDAY, the current hit Netflix series directed by Tim Burton, we have Thing itself, the awesome VICTOR DOROBANTU. Thing is played by Victor’s real hand, and we’re delighted to welcome him and his hand to the SFW family in March! He will be signing and chatting and getting involved in all the SFW shenanigans.
Along with Victor we welcome AYSHEA BROUGH to SFW. Ayshea hosted an afternoon pop show LIFT OFF WITH AYSHEA in the seventies, and she also appeared in UFO as one of the SHADO base lieutenants, as well as roles in JASON KING, DEMOLITION MAN and many others. Ayshea has a wicked sense of humour and is looking forward to meeting you all and sharing her stories!
We also have RICHARD ASHTON joining us. Richard was under scales as an Ice Warrior in the modern series of DOCTOR WHO, and has also appeared in many other television shows and films, including as the dastardly butler in THE CHRISTMAS PRINCE film series.
Finally, we have GEORGE COPPEN making his debut at SFW. George is an actor who has recently appeared in the Netflix film THE SCHOOL FOR GOOD AND EVIL playing Cupid, and also in the new WILLOW television series. He’s a regular in Pantomime, and will be sharing stories with us of his work on those shows.
Also appearing are UFOLOGISTS … The truth is out there! Well, in Cornwall anyway! Following the lives of a Cornish UFO investigation team, as they explore the beautiful, rugged and unseen Cornish countryside, in an unalienable desire to seek out extra-terrestrial activity. A more dedicated group you couldn't expect to meet, Ufologists will be in attendance for an expert insight into the UFO phenomenon, and an exclusive special reveal of their fascinating film.
oining us on the Writing front we have SFW regulars RAVEN DANE and BRYONY PEARCE with new books and new adventures … and we are welcoming ANNA STEPHENS to launch her new fantasy novel THE JAGUAR PATH.
Setting up in THE STRIP CLUB, we welcome a host of artists. We have ADRIAN SALMON and MARTIN GERAGHTY, both of whom have been working on DOCTOR WHO MAGAZINE’S comic strips for many years, and who are also involved in the recent DOCTOR WHO Animated releases. Joining them we have Publishing Legend DEZ SKINN, and also GARETH KAVANAGH, MD of CUTAWAY COMICS, an independent comic company specialising in DOCTOR WHO spinoffery, and also artist to the stars JEFF CUMMINS … all of whom will be spilling more beans on the history of comics, illustrating record covers as well as novels, art and everything in between.
We also welcome the incredible horror artist GRAHAM HUMPHREYS. Graham cut his teeth with the original film posters for THE EVIL DEAD and A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET and has gone on to create poster art and covers for a wide variety of books, events and DVD/Blu-Ray releases. He’ll have original prints and posters for sale at the event, and will be talking horror and art at every opportunity …
PAUL ECCENTRIC AND THE ANTIPOET are a Steampunk duo with raps and tales aplenty … They have played at hundreds of festivals including Glastonbury, The Edinburgh Fringe, Bestival and others … and they’ll be performing a set over the weekend.
We also have some award-winning stand-up comedy from DONNA SCOTT! Donna is a multi-talented yet somewhat geeky stand-up comedian, and a veteran of the Sci-Fi convention scene having performed at various Newcons, Eastercons and Fantasycons as well as SFX Weekender and a Festival of the Occult. Donna was a finalist of Old Comedian of the Year (despite being pretty youthful, thank you!) and a top ten finalist for BBC New Voices in 2019. Her quirky absurdism is noted and she is a Director of the British Science Fiction Association and has edited lots of genre books, including the Best of British Science Fiction series for Newcon Press. ‘The woman is brilliant,’ says Alan Moore … and we’re not going to argue with that!
Also performing some of his stand-up we have GEORGE COPPEN … actor and performer and comedian …
All this on top of our previously announced guests: NINA WADIA OBE; CHASE MASTERTON; FRAZER HINES; WENDY PADBURY; JON DAVEY; MICKEY LEWIS; SARAH PINBOROUGH; DACRE STOKER; STEPHEN COX; SIMON KURT UNSWORTH and BENJAMIN KURT UNSWORTH.
