The Velvet Onion ran from 2010-2018, chronicling the exploits of various people in alternative comedy. Projects spanning television, film, theatre, books, music, video games and of course, stand-up, live sketch and character comedy.
The site closed in 2018, and an archive was kept available for over five years. However, due to spiralling costs, it is no longer possible to maintain this archivE, AND AS OF SEPTEMBER 2023 IT IS NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE.
Old captures of the website are available via the WayBack Machine. If you’re an artist who was previously featured on these pages, looking to source copies of material concerning you, please get in touch via BlueSky or Instagram. Unless you still have me on Facebook. Most of you probably do.
To all our readers out there, big love – and thanks for all the positive vibes.
