Who is Mr Vast?

Mr Vast – aka Henry Sargeant – trained as an actor and ‘dark clown’ before veering off into music as frontman for the legendary Wevie Stonder, dubbed by the BBC as “the Monty Python of electronic music”. Expanding on the same brand of anarchic comedy and wild fusion of musical influences, Mr Vast is a one-man show that resists easy definitions: a slapstick cabaret, a surrealist happening, an avant-garde concert, a tragicomic carnival, an ecstatic ritual.

Carrying the torch of the Great English Eccentric and music hall variety performance into the post-Brexit 21st century, Mr Vast also draws on the Theatre of the Absurd, the archetype of the fool and international folk traditions in his weird & wonderful characters, costumes, masks and props. A metamorphic presence and shamanic compère, Vast takes audiences on journeys into fantastic new worlds, summoning the deepest desires and fears from our collective unconscious.

Equally at home on stage at festivals, comedy venues or nightclubs, Mr Vast has a diverse global fanbase devoted to his unique style of off-kilter electronica and inspired lyricism, showcased in unpredictable live sets where barriers between performer and audience are always broken down. Behind the multiple personalities of Mr Vast lies a deeply human, vulnerable artist seeking connection and catharsis, one who aims to triumph over adversity with shared fun and laughter.

“One of the most absurd and hilarious beings we have ever had the pleasure of meeting, his ability to amuse and confuse his subjects is second to none”
