A Succulent Chinese Musical?!
Winner Judges' Pick 2025 Melbourne Fringe
Nominee Best in Musical Theatre/Cabaret 2025 Sydney Fringe
Nomniee Best Premiere Production 2025 Newcastle Fringe
Jack Karlson was a notorious crim: car thief, factory burglar and serial prison escapee, but he could never guess that for all his misdeeds, he'd become a world-famous meme for his verbose and theatrical 1991 arrest. This very serious theatre work tells Karlson's life story, and shows us the pivotal moments in his life that (may have) inspired his great monologue. The musical numbers are 100% historically accurate.
So get your hand off my p----, learn your judo well and ask yourself: what is the charge? Performing a musical? A Succulent Chinese Musical?!
