The UK's bright new star - comedian, writer, actor, radio/TV performer Russell Kane - zings and pings with comic effervescence on his debut in Melbourne as he prods at the Anglo Saxon penchant for all things flawed. Maybe bonding through moaning is a British thing: ‘How was your day?' ‘Cack!' How was mine?' ‘Cack!' 'Let's go to the pub.' Happiness.
Love. Race. Politics. Class. Super-speed musings and inconvenient sociology abound in this show stacked with self-soiling merriment that will leave you with rickets.
"As smart a young comic as you're likely to find." The Sunday Times (UK)
"An exceptional comedian, his pace is relentless and his material beautifully observed and exquisitely crafted...This is inspiring and brilliant stand-up...perfect." Chortle (UK)
