‘Cry in the shower afterwards’: 157 Minutes of Bad Slam Poetry is coming to Melbourne Fringe this year

Words by Staff Writer

Making his Melbourne Fringe Festival debut, comedian Jeremy Moses is bringing his unique brand of stand- up, satire and storytelling to the marvellous Classic Southside stage in October.

Bookended by silly slam poems – a byproduct of one hundred poems written and recorded in lockdown, Jeremy will tell tales of his disability, the loss of his mother at a young age, and the beatnik persona that has since made him an occasional household name on social media.

Born with a rare genetic condition affecting his eyesight and coordination, Jeremy will share insights into living with a disability, the often-funny challenges growing up legally blind, and the awkward misadventures that plague his adulthood.

With a big, diverse Jewish family with roots in Iraq, India and Singapore, Jeremy will also shed light on a little-known multicultural crossroad, and the rich history, food and customs that shape the Jeremy Moses of today.

“I’m honoured to perform above my favourite cinema, on a street steeped in entertainment history, in my community’s cultural centre,” Jeremy notes. “It’s also ten minutes from home if I need to cry in the shower afterwards.”
