Toxic Millenniality
Presented by Zeppo Creative
Life in your 20’s is more than just
avocados. Alissia Marsh, Tom
Brady and Zeppo test how much
life experience they can fit into a
few decades, providing a hilarious
revelation of how the world looks
to three very different people.
Being LGBTQ+, African in Tasmania, serving in Afghanistan...
They’re real, they’re diverse and they’re damn funny!
Tickets: $8 - $10 | 18+ (Restricted) | WA | World Premiere

20-22, 26 JAN @ 7:00 PM • 50 MINS
Transgressive
Presented by Leo Kearse
Leo’s previous show was banned
from venues following allegations
of transphobia, despite being
written with a transwoman he
dated. His new show is a candid
account of sex and censorship,
ripping into political correctness,
environmentalists and ‘wokeness’. But most of all, the Scottish
Comedian of the Year 2017/18 is shockingly funny.
