Marketing Man

  • Comedy
  • Entertainment

Marketing Man is a one-man comedy show that'll have you in stitches, talking about it at breakfast, and wondering how you almost missed it.

One performer. One character. Fifty-five minutes of sharp, filthy comedy that punches well above.

He's the guy at the party who won't stop talking and somehow you can't look away. Part stand-up, part chaos, entirely committed. This is the show that turns a quiet Tuesday night in Melbourne into a story you tell for years.

First time at Melbourne Fringe? This is exactly where you start. Show up, grab a drink at the bar, and settle in for a late night that delivers. This is the show that had Adelaide Fringe audiences in stitches and critics reaching for their superlatives.

Free stuff on the night for out-of-towners. No fine print, just show up.

This show is for ages 18+
