Making her festival debut, Lena Moon’s been trying to buy a projector from JB Hi-Fi. Lucky for us, it’s a story she takes exactly one hour to tell.

Rube Goldberg Machine is arguably one of the most engaging shows at the festival this year, thanks to Lena’s effortless delivery and strong storytelling skills. The JB visit is quickly interrupted with fun tales from Lena’s life. This includes her real-life experience with cults, her obsession with the character Groovy Chick, streaming on Twitch, and the challenges of trying to rent in 2025. 

But don’t fret, we always return to the line at JB along with Lena and her sneaky discount. Rube Goldberg Machine is perfectly constructed in such a way that we end up caring about the projector purchase like it’s a high speed car chase. As the show closes we reach the front of the line with her, and it’s definitely worth the wait.
