The idea for the show was born when… I was in hospital last year after dislocating my foot during a performance and I was told that I might never be able to run again, let alone walk. When I was put under with Fentanyl – medical grade cocaine – for the operation, I blacked out from the pain and had a dream that I was on stage doing a comedy show, had a heart attack on stage in the dream and then went into another dream where I met “god” and he/she was about to tell me the world’s funniest joke when I woke. And I thought ‘f**k I got to write that down!’.
Who are your biggest influences? Trygvey Wakenshaw, Frank Woodley, Dr Brown and Mr Fish.
Can you describe the journey of creating a show? While waiting eight months for my foot to heal and sitting in a moon boot, lots and lots of writing and exploring my own thoughts, which is strange for a circus/physical performer.
Describe your show in three words. Bizarre, surrealism and parody.
Does your show have any audience participation? Yes, heaps. We play bingo, catch ping pong balls in my mouth while I ride a unicycle and I ‘fly’ through the audience as a sperm in a balloon.
