Anthony Johnston: Overencumbered

“Over Encumbered” is the debut show from Anthony Johnston, a stand-up comedian from Birkenhead who’s spent a lifetime carrying more than his fair share — whether that’s trauma, responsibilities, or just too much loot in Skyrim. With a sharp mix of dark humour, absurdity and honesty, Anthony explores how gaming has helped him navigate homelessness, grief, and the absurd grind of real life. Expect puns, side quests, and maybe a few perks along the way.
