About this listen

Some rivalries are set in stone.

When Harry Andrews meets Martin Haggerty, two human statues collide in a battle that will transform the Chelmsley High Street into a battlefield of the absurd.

What starts as a simple act of jealous sabotage becomes a life-consuming obsession that will push them beyond the limits of dignity, sanity, and the law.

True art knows no boundaries—not even those of common sense.

Welcome to a darkly comedic journey into the world of street performance, where standing still becomes the most dangerous act of all.

What a wild ride! Human Statues is exactly the kind of crazy, laugh-out-loud story you’d expect from the pen of Steve McElhenny. Two men locked in an absurd, months-long battle as “human statues,” all for the sake of fame, money, and recognition, it’s a premise that stays funny and engaging from start to finish. That said, I found the narration a challenge. Chase Langley’s style and delivery just didn’t click with Steve's sharp, comedic writing. At times it distracted from the humour, and honestly, if the story itself hadn’t been so good, I would have given up on it. Still, If you can look past the narration, this short story is absolutely worth a listen.

Great Story but...
