Hand Foot in Mouth

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

How many times can you build a Duplo tower only to watch someone else's kid kick it down?

Meet Bronte. She’s 23, back in Brisbane after her entire life unravelled at the base of a Brunswick gum tree. In a desperate attempt to find some semblance of normalcy, she takes another crack at her high school babysitting job. But the three children she waved goodbye to at 18 are now entirely different beasts.

A monologue about men, children and man-children by Gen Z's Mary Poppins, Bronte Locke, Hand Foot in Mouth is a raucous, raw one-woman show and live DJ set.
