In order to celebrate his 60th birthday in 2012, Otway booked the Odeon Leicester Square to show the documentary of his life. Titled Otway the Movie, the sell out screening saw cinematic history made with the final scenes of the movie being filmed from the red carpet on the morning of the film. The film was funded by fans becoming producers who, as with the Hit campaign, were all individually credited in the movie credits. Following the success of the producers' premiere, 2013 will see Otway take the completed movie to various international film festivals.

The live show remains as chaotic as ever, with the continued possibility of physical injury at every gig! John has built a large cult following, attracted by his surreal sense of humour and the manic energy he puts in to his live performances
