Nominee 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival Award for Most Outstanding Show

Nominee Best Newcomer 2019 Melbourne International Comedy Festival 

I am but an ordinary man and yet upon the stage I am made golden.

This year for the Fest I’m doing a ‘Work in Progress’. It’s not a finished show. I’ll be mucking around with new ideas, trying things out and giving the art form of stand-up comedy a hefty nudge in some new directions. Basically, I’ll be revolutionising the form as we know it.

I haven’t entirely figured out how yet – which is why tickets are cheap. But my expectation is that this show will be considered by future generations to have marked an epochal shift in the history of stand-up. Come be a part of history in the making.

'Comic genius catapults to the point of sheer chaos.' ★★★★★ Adelaide Advertiser

'The journey is a wonderfully wild one and a break from the norm.' ★★★★ Chortle (UK)

Suitable for audiences 15+

Language – occasional coarse language

We accept the invitation to walk together with First Nations people towards a more positive future for Australia, as described in the Uluru Statement From The Heart.
