Lou Wall brings a new show to Fairfield, John Robertson “plays with the audience”, and there’s Femmes and Thems taking over The Frog.
Genre-defying Australian comic Lou Wall brings their brand new show to Manchester this week as they attempt “Breaking The Fifth Wall”. Performance and reality collide in this multi-media show from one of the most innovative performers in the world, who won Best Show at the Sydney Comedy Festival and scored five-star reviews from The Guardian and The Telegraph.
Another Aussie innovator, John Robertson, is in town this Sunday with The Dark Room, but that show has sold out, so he’s put on a fun little extra show in the afternoon where he intends to “Play With His Audience”. If that appeals to you, come and spend 90 minutes with the high-energy madman as he improvises with the help of the crowd.
