Sam McGowan Can't Sleep

  • Australia

Sam lies awake most nights, tossing and turning, thinking about every single thing that could ever happen, or ever will. Will the twink he likes text him back? Is the black mould in his bathroom affecting his aura? Will his singing lessons from a stranger on Gumtree actually help him achieve his goal of outsinging Susan Boyle?

In this debut comedy hour, Sam begs you to help him answer the questions that keep him up at night. He's already tried ear plugs, white noise, crying himself to sleep, and a free trial of Calm. He can't afford $79 for an annual subscription. Please come to the show and suggest some ideas. He's so curious and so tired.

Expect to hear tragic dating stories, unsolicited hot takes on The Culture, and vendettas against the people who have wronged him (both real and imagined).

 

About the performer:

Sam McGowan is a comedian, writer and filmmaker.  You can find him regularly performing standup around town in his home city of Melbourne, as well as co-hosting the popular queer pop culture podcast Gaytkeeping. He currently produces comedy segments for The Project, and has worked with some of the biggest names in Australian comedy.

Strictly for audiences 18+

Language – occasional coarse language
