Help from the Manchester International Festival for his next project
Comedian Vince Atta has been awarded a creative fellowship from the Manchester International Festival.
It means financial help towards the creation of his next project, mentorship and advice - including showing one of the teams working on this year’s event.
The comic says his work is strongly based around the mixed-race living experience and he’s currently writing a hip-hop musical set in 1980s Moss Side.
Atta said: ‘I think this has come about because I felt the need to change. I m teaching myself new skills, music production, video editing and writing plays.
