Just a Boy by Edie Amos
https://ediegraceamos.co.uk/

"Sam’s work is confronting, without being disparaging. I felt like he was cutting through in a genuinely meaningful way and I was really excited to follow along with his journey in any way I could. I stumbled upon him at a pivotal part of his career. At our first meeting, over a cup of tea in the Soho Theatre café, I discovered he’d been performing for only six months, and his audience was growing at an incredible pace."
