The stand up and music show concerning the tragedy and comedy of being a Magpie fan returns for second year. Featuring a new song for Chris Tarrant!
“At the tender age of 11 (after three Grand Final losses in a row) I learnt a horrible truth about life: Dreams don’t come true; nothing good ever really happens; and life is essentially one after another episode of pain and misery until you end up in a nursing home, daring your family to snuff you out with a pillow and not get caught… For a brief moment in 1990, when we finally won the flag I thought salvation had been visited upon me… I was convinced that my fortunes were inextricably tied to those of the club… Sixteen years later I fear that I will die with the memory of that Premiership serving as a mere aberration.” From Collingwood ruined my Life as featured in the book 'The Barrackers are Shouting - Stories of Collingwood from the Grandstand’
“Comedy that doesn’t talk down to the audience… the closest many men will get to therapy" The Age.
"Will strike a knowing chord with everyone who has ever donned a black and white scarf on a sleety Saturday afternoon" Beat Magazine
