5 Good Reasons to See Daniel Muggleton: Oh, More Mr. White Guy

1. I’ll be wearing an Adidas tracksuit, either red, green, light blue or black. Before the show you can discuss with your mates which one you think I’ll be wearing, start a little betting pool then message me on Instagram to rig it in your favour – provided you’re willing to give me 20% of the profits. Make your ticket money back by exploiting your friendships!

2. The show Oh, More Mr. White Guy got a 5 star review in the Adelaide Advertiser. A paper long-regarded as the most culturally significant in Australian history.

3. Laughter is the best medicine. So if you come and laugh really, really hard at my show you will be immune from COVID and any future pandemics. Don’t believe me? Just ask Australia’s #1 scientist Pete Evans!

4. It’s called the Melbourne INTERNATIONAL Comedy Festival but this year most international acts haven’t been allowed into the country so come see the next best thing… an Australian guy who spent 2 years in the UK, and brings it up a lot. Cheers.

5. Limited edition Daniel Muggleton Face Masks will be available after the show for a very reasonable price. Buy one and really upset everybody else on the tram!

5 Good Reasons to See Gillian English: She Wolf

1. You’ll learn so much! Think of She Wolf as a profanity laden Ted Talk, done in character with interjections of Shakespearean monologues. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn heaps!

2. I’m an Australian Permanent Resident, but I still have that foreign Canadian accent. Missing the internationals this festival? I got ya covered!

3. If you love Shakespeare, you’ll enjoy this new look at his historical works in a modern context.

4. If you hate Shakespeare, you’ll enjoy this ruthless take down of centuries old propaganda.

5. It just won a 2021 Weekly Best Comedy Award at the Adelaide Fringe. It’s certified fresh and funny!

5 GOOD REASONS TO SEE…DON’T TRUST ME, I’M A DENTIST

1. We don’t believe in long drawn-out scenes that bore you to death. Our show is fast-paced and quirky, inspired by our love of sketch comedy.

2. If you’ve been stuck at home for most of last year, only popping out to buy more grog, we are here to help. You do need a laugh.

3. More than 87% of our script did actually happen for real. Strange patients do exist and they do and say the strangest things at the dentist’s. We believe it’s cos they’re shit-scared.

4. If you’re a high-flyer type and are somewhat fucked off with your lifestyle, this play will give you some degree of therapy. We’re all in this together. Honest.

5. Dentists and their entire team are mostly human. But do think twice before booking in on a Friday afternoon.

Don’t Trust me, I’m a Dentist is a play directed by Roz Hammond. It is on at the Meat Market on weekends between Mar 27 and Apr 18
