Event Details

Ever feel like a LOSER? Beaten down by capitalism, the housing crisis, and little hope of getting ahead?

“brilliant, well-observed character comedy” – Stage Whispers (Australia)

Meet one Aussie bloke who can relate… He’s crass, chain-smokes, blows his paycheck on KFC and Marvel tatts and stumbles into knife fights. This is Big Mike – a wiry, heart-on-his-sleeve barista with big plans, good intentions and a magnetism for tragedy.

Join Big Mike in a day of his life – learn about his hack to homeownership, and help him date again after his sexless longterm relationship ends (spoiler: it’s a disaster).

Absurd, funny, and oftentimes tragic, the show blends character comedy with elements of clowning, bouffon and drag.
