Stew Walker

Cricket Is a Funny Game

  • Australia

Nominee Best Musical, Cabaret or Variety Show 2020 Fringe at the Edge of the World 

After smashing a century on debut at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Cricket Is a Funny Game is back for a second innings and the fun rate is higher than ever!

If you love cricket, music and laughter, don’t miss award-nominated musical comedian Stew Walker‘s hilarious homage to the world’s funniest sport.

Enjoy silly songs and clever observational humour inspired by Stew’s life as a cricket tragic who rose from backyard, beach, school and club cricket, to the dizzying heights of playing cricket at Lord’s – in the carpark!

When it comes to cricket, the only thing funnier than this show is Jonny Bairstow’s understanding of the spirit of cricket!

Stew Walker has been making audiences laugh at Melbourne International Comedy Festival since 2015. He's had four hit solo shows (Cricket is a Funny Game, Silly Love Songs, The Book of Snorin' – Sleep Apnea the Musical and A Hard Day's Night of Beatles Parodies). He's also produced and performed in the musical comedy variety shows 1 Night Stand: A Musical Comedy Showcase and All Star Musical Comedy Showcase.

'An evening of hilarity and hijinks.' First on Entertainment

 

Please note, the following performances will be filmed: Sat 05 Apr

Suitable for audiences 15+

Language – mild language
