CFT Lates: Just a Boy - Sam Browne

Performance poet Sam Browne’s debut show follows his journey through the manosphere — from idolising Andrew Tate to calling out his mates.

In Just a Boy, Sam explores how we talk about young men today, and how we can rewrite the script on masculinity for the next generation. It’s a show about redemption that forces us to ask some difficult questions about identity, growth, and what we leave behind when we cut out parts of ourselves.

Sam is a poet from Southend, Essex, who tried to do stand-up comedy, but everything rhymed and it wasn’t very funny, so now he writes poetry. He has headlined some of the biggest nights in the country and has over 15 million views across social media platforms.
