Ryan Mason Disappoints His Parents

Debuting to a sold-out season at Adelaide Fringe in 2024 and winning the One to Watch Award, Ryan Mason's first solo show makes its Melbourne premiere in what can only be described as a misguided attempt to impress his Dad.

The story of a young man and his tumultuous relationship with his father, this is a show about family, identity and why it’s a terrible idea to pursue a career in the arts to make your family proud.
