Since graduating Joe has worked extensively in theatre performing in several shows around the UK for the Internationally acclaimed Artizani Street Theatre Company, for Epiphany on their Christmas show, The Lost Elves at Manchester Airport. Joe played Jason in the award winning O’leary’s Daughters at the 24/7 Theatre Festival, various roles in StartWrite at the Contact Theatre in Manchester and the role of Dr Spinoza in the sell-out Inky Fingers Theatre Company production of Cabbages again at the Contact Theatre.
