Julian O’Shea

One For The Record Books

  • Australia

As a kid, Julian O’Shea discovered a book full of the weirdest world records. The world’s tallest man. The person with the most tattoos. The most snakes held in the mouth at once. He was amazed and intrigued: would it be possible to end up in this book?

He never grew to be eight feet tall and tattoos aren’t really this thing, so what could he do to become a record breaker?

This is the hilarious true story of his unusual attempts across six continents to break a world record. From tiny Pacific islands to the summit of Chilean volcanoes – these are real life (mis)adventures on tuk tuks, trams, trains and skateboards.

This is a show for people with big dreams. Or who just love trains. Either way, its’s one for the record books.

Julian O’Shea is a popular online creator (@julianoshea) and returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival after a sell-out debut season.
