The set list

6 bits
  1. The crime-adjacent commuter on Sydney trains

    Observing a man at every train platform leaning out looking around, repeating the same routine in a COVID-19 PCR queue, and concluding he is writing his name on the train hoping his biological father finds him

  2. Male friends saying 'don't tell your wife'

    Interacting with an audience member named Jad to argue that wives rank higher than quarterly male friendships and she is the first person who will be told

  3. Red polyester tracksuit

    Explaining it was an attempt to assimilate into UK culture, but makes him look flammable during Australian bushfire season

  4. Defining and analyzing bogans

    Highlighting how bogans are winning in Australian culture through golfer Cam Smith, Daniel Ricciardo's shoeys, FM radio contests, and Hillsong church

  5. Changing the date of Australia Day

    Contending that there isn't a historical day where white Australia wasn't terrible to Indigenous peoples

  6. Novak Djokovic deportation

    Calling his deportation a victimless crime and joking about Australia having a court where Djokovic couldn't win

How it plays

Tone
Dark, deep, intelligent, and irreverent
On stage
Foul-mouthed Aussie prophet performing in a signature red Adidas tracksuit and moustache; deceptively smart and easy-going
Pace
Starts gently with relatable relationship and observational material before smoothly transitioning into dark, challenging socio-political topics
About
fertility and attempting to become a father, marriage and relationships, bogans in Australian culture, racism and Australia Day, COVID-19 pandemic and healthcare, rivalry between Australian cities

What the critics said

Praised as deceptively smart, cathartic, and skillfully bridging the gap between relatable observational comedy and darker political commentary

In the room: Full house tour dynamic where the comic comfortably leans into audience discomfort and nervous laughs
