James Dolan

James Dolan is an artist and producer creating across live art, installation and theatre. Originally from Ipswich, now based in London, James graduated with a first-class degree in BA(Hons) Experimental Arts and Performance from The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama.

Fanny Bleach (Emma Crowley Bennett)

Emma/Fanny Bleach is a Geordie theatre maker, alternative comedian, writer and drag performer. She prides herself on creating subversive, comical and grotesque work aimed at intriguing and disgusting an audience while always ensuring they have a good time. The world can be bleak, so dressing up as a prawn once in a while and covering herself in mayonnaise feels like honest work.

Emma writes and performs for Newcastle based, all female comedy sketch group ‘Your Aunt Fanny’ who are writing their first radio play for Radio 4 and touring their third show CREASE. Emma’s grotesque burlesque alias Fanny Bleach has been crowned winner of drag competition Top Of The Slops season 3 and her first solo show The Nearly Naked Show is in development and set to hit Edinburgh Fringe 2026, exploring the reclamation of her naked body in all its gory glory.
