'Jack, is it true you hit Troye Sivan with a glass bottle and told Sabrina Carpenter to go f*ck herself?'Jack Calver never imagined he’d become a five-time Grammy-winning queer pop star with over 500 million Spotify streams. He was just a normal teen from Adelaide, Australia when he posted a YouTube cover with friend Eli and rose to sudden overnight fame—but as Jack goes solo, it's clear his talent for provocation and self-promotion far outweighs his actual singing skill. As the social media landscape shifts, Jack does whatever it takes to stay relevant, teetering on the brink of cancellation—and even his guardian angel Beyoncé may not be able to save him.The Demon Twink World Tour is a satirical, hyper-pop exploration of celebrity culture, queer identity, and social media obsession that blends dance, music and cine-theatre.
