To fight back, he’s developed a brand new hour of stand-up comedy about becoming an adult in the age of Windows, complete with a state-of-the-art PowerPoint presentation.

It is coming to town as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and will show at the Catfish Bar from March 27 to April 6 (except on Tuesdays and Sundays).
A stand-up comedian and improv artist, John Glover (who works a day job in marketing) debuted at MIFC last year with the dazzlingly funny show John Glover Must Die.
He’s already brought Microsoft Orifice to the Sydney Fringe Festival 2023, where it had a successful run and was praised for its witty sense of humour and acute relatability.
Whether you’re looking to catch a few Happy Hour drinks with your coworker or send a not-so-subtle message to your boss, this show is best experienced straight from the office, so clock off and come on down. Business casual is optional.
