storytelling, stand-up

Slappable

31st JUL to 24th AUG 21:05
'Why am I like this?' is a question John Barrett seeks to answer, especially after having a date where he was slapped... twice. If you don't hear a knee slapper, at least you might get to see John slap himself on stage. Once endearingly described as 'angsty Mike Birbiglia,' John's combination of self-examination and humour explores a new space between storytelling and stand-up. Exploring everything from queer identity, ADD and feeling like an outsider all the way to the universal experience of simply needing a wedding date, this show is as personal as it is relatable.
