What’s the basis of your show? Man vs Wildlife v2.0 is about the insane journey that has been my life to this point. Five-year-old me was certain of two things. Firstly, I was going to grow up to be Steve Irwin and secondly I was going to grow up to be John Farnham. There’s music, storytelling and stand-up comedy. I also have the added bonus and privilege of being able to share my passion for Australian wildlife and conservation. A percentage of every ticket sold will be donated to a wildlife conservation program. Just by buying a ticket, you’re already helping to make a difference.
What do you want people to take away from your show? Although it seems like all doom and gloom with the environment right now, there are simple things that everyone can do that may seem small and insignificant but if everybody made minor adjustments in their choices, it makes a huge difference.
Can we expect animals? I can definitely confirm that there will be a crocodile, possibly a bird and maybe a marsupial. If you thought Kanye had some strange backstage demands, try dealing with a cranky croc or a possum that insists on fresh flowers to nibble on every night. Such divas!
What’s the most hilarious thing about Australian wildlife? Wombats do square poos, that’s funny if you like poo jokes. Kangaroos are a macropod, which literally means ‘big foot’ so sasquatches are real, and ducks have spiral shaped penises… need I say more?
