Cam Venn Shark Heist

Cam Venn Shark Heist

Winner Golden Gibbo 2018 Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Winner The WA Tour Ready Award 2018 Melbourne Fringe

Nominee Best Comedy 2018 Melbourne Fringe


Shark Heist is a physical comedy theatre adventure from multi-award-winner Cam Venn.

A precious jewel. A killer shark. A retired thief back for one last job.

When Charles Horse is released from prison he is ready to live a crime-free life. But when he finds out his best friend Terry, a colossal great white shark, has been kidnapped and brainwashed Charles sets aside his retirement plans and prepares for his greatest heist yet.

Shark Heist is a visually exciting one-person blockbuster performance packed with custom made props, costumes and special effects. Cam Venn transforms into an ensemble of heroes and anti-heroes, dancing and acting through the heart warming tale of two best friends on the adventure of a lifetime. This show is a highly interactive collaboration with the audience, where each evening is a one-of-a-kind celebration of teamwork as Cam and the audience work together to create an hilarious homage to the heist and creature feature film genres.

“Like coming home from a movie and excitedly recreating the whole thing with your mates in the loungeroom.” Audience member
