Louis Theroux: In Conversation

Information

Louis Theroux is a genre-defining documentary presenter, best known for producing immersive documentaries that explore the controversial and complex aspects of the human condition.

At Fringe by the Sea, he'll share his stories of interviewing some of the world's most controversial, extreme and fascinating characters.

Louis is the host of 'The Louis Theroux Podcast' and has presented the BAFTA-winning series 'Louis Theroux’s Weird Weekends', 'When Louis Met...', and a series of award-winning specials including the feature-length documentary, My Scientology Movie.

Over the years, Louis has kept true to a way of working that is uniquely his own: by charming his subjects, he’s able to offer rounded portraits of the people involved in complex social issues and human dilemmas, while always resisting easy judgements.

In the summer of 2022 Louis’s took his first, rather unexpected, detour into the recording studio. After performing a rap on Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date music producers Duke & Jones sampled it, it went viral on TikTok and they invited Louis to release it as a single. Jiggle Jiggle became an instant earworm and has been streamed over 70M times and received global media recognition.

Louis has won numerous awards, including three BAFTAs, an RTS award, and Grierson’s Trustees’ Award, and in 2019, he set up his own independent television production company, Mindhouse, alongside Arron Fellows and Nancy Strang.

Louis will be available for a time-limited 'meet & greet' after the event. His book will be available to purchase at the event, and during Fringe by the Sea (31st July-9th August) through Night Owl Books.
