A cruise ship. Staffed, operated and inhabited solely by Con Coutis. Soak up some sketch comedy. Relax and unwind with some stand-up. Enjoy some wordplay in the tropics. The SS Steam-Dream – boarding now!

After the completely sold-out run of Daydream (2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival), Con Coutis is certifiably Half Steam Ahead! with his debut solo show. This exciting young comedian uses “fast-paced dialogue, physical comedy and witticisms” (Lot’s Wife) to keep audiences on their toes.
