#BLACKBEARSMATTER

Made in Dagenham and now very much at home at the Fringe, Michael Odewale's first full-length show dove fearlessly into big hashtag-fertile topics, via his own East-London background. #BlackBearsMatter explored Odewale's outcast status at the office, school - private and comprehensive - and his own need to find more empathy. He certainly engaged the Fringe audience.
