Performer in drag with a fake mustache and beard, smoking a cigarette and holding a coffee making head from a coffee machine.
6 – 12 Oct

Loserland

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

Ever feel like a loser? Beaten down by capitalism, the grind, and little hope of ever getting ahead?

Meet the last person you’d expect to share your experiences with... he’s crass, chain-smokes, blows his paycheck on KFC and Marvel tatts, and stumbles into knife fights. This is the drag clown Big Mike: a wiry, heart-on-his-sleeve barista with big plans, good intentions and a magnetism for tragedy.

Set in a suburban cafe, you'll become a regular — learning about Big Mike's unconventional path to homeownership and helping him date again after his sexless de facto relationship ends (spoiler: it’s a disaster). So grab a seat, put in your coffee order, and prepare to make an unexpected friend.

Created and performed by Michele Owen.

Part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival.
