What Doesn't Kill You

  • Comedy
  • Theatre

Don't miss this award-winning show at the Melbourne Fringe Festival.

Do you have Daddy issues? Mummy issues? Any issues at all? You'll love this show. Praised for finding the funny in some of the darker parts of life, the audience will be laughing before they can register the subject matter.

What Doesn't Kill You has earned multiple 5 star reviews, a sold out run at Adelaide Fringe Festival, sold out shows at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and the award for Best New Comedy at Melbourne Fringe last year.

What Doesn't Kill You is the perfect mix of heartfelt and hilarious, with a few songs thrown in.
