5 good reasons – Page 71 – Squirrel Comedy

5 good Reasons To See Clara Cupcakes in The Merchant of Whimsy

1. There is cheese. Like actual, physical cheese. Not just the show being cheesy, which it is a little bit as well. I have both literal & metaphorical cheese. Cheese.

2. You need a reason other than cheese? Really?

3. Okay then. Well, I have 6 costume changes. One of them happens in under 15 seconds. Magic! Ohhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhh!

4. There are a bunch of things in the show like circus, singing, dancing, monkeys, animation, nerf guns and at least one squirrel. You know, the usual stuff.

5. If you come to the show, I will give you a hug. Unless you hate hugs. If you hate hugs we can handshake in a very official way like business associates who have just done some really good business (but I will be secretly hugging you in my brain).

The Merchant of Whimsy is on at Pleasance House Comedy. For more information and bookings visit the website:

5 Good Reasons to See Suren Jayemanne in Eat Praline, Die.

1. In 2014, Suren was handpicked by the Melbourne International Comedy Festival to appear in The Comedy Zone, a showcase of the top five emerging comics from around Australia. The prestigious showcase has a rich tradition of presenting future favourites of Australian comedy, including Tom Ballard, Celia Pacquola and Ronny Chieng just to name a few.

2. Suren is not a tall white male. Quite the contrary, Suren is a petite brown… male. Suren brings a different perspective to Australian comedy, one that is from a growing voice in our society. This is intelligent and raw humour about multiculturalism in Australia.

3. Who even eats bread anymore? Suren has had life-threatening food allergies and may as well have been labelled a ‘bubble boy’ since childhood. He’s had a head start on restrictive diets, so if you’re going paleo or gluten free, perhaps you should learn from the master.

4. Suren didn’t pay attention in sex-ed. He mistakenly heard the teacher say, before any hanky-panky, it helps a lady get in the mood if there’s a bit of wordplay. Consequently, Suren spent years refining his craft for witty one-liners, but is yet to master foreplay. (Suren may have also mistakenly heard his teacher say “hanky-panky”)

5. Cause Eat Praline, Die is like Eat, Pray, Love with less of the self discovery but more Tupac references. And laughs. Plenty more laughs.

Eat Praline, Die is on at the Portland Hotel. For more information and bookings visit the website:

5 Good Reasons To See Kirsten Law in Man Academy

1. Because ever since second-wave feminism POISONED our minds with LIES, we have suckled at the teat of the GYNOCRACY like ignorant, stupid babies!! It’s time to put an end to the ABHORRENT War on Men!

2. Seriously, people!!! The SOCIO-SEXUAL APOCALYPSE is upon us and only trained homeopath/men’s rights crusader Chrystal Willard can help you fight it (with special tools like meditation, visualisation and The Matrix soundtrack).

3. Because Chrystal’s 30-year-old half-brother Gareth (raised by a single mother) sleeps surrounded by My Little Ponies™!!!! With Chrystal’s expert tuition, he will CEASE this unnatural obsession before it obliterates his remaining testicle.

4. Because you’re a fertile female surrounded by soft-cock LOSERS that you WISH you could friendzone. Bring your sissy beta-boy of a husband/boyfriend to ‘Man Academy’ and watch Chrystal Willard transform him into a VIRILE ALPHA BEAST!!

5. Because we have litres of discounted* ‘Muscle Milk’ for sale after the show and just three gulps will put your Yang through the fucking RICHTER SCALE!

* ‘Best Before NOV 2014’ is only a suggestion.
