Written & performed by Shane Todd. TEG Dainty Comedy. Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Trades Hall, Solidarity Hall. 20 – 23 April 2023 – then touring Fremantle, Sydney, Brisbane to 1 May.
Shane Todd is from Northern Ireland, and he makes much of this - by playing it down. That is, he’s distinctly ‘Irish’ and vague about it at the same time. When an Australian hears his accent and asks if he’s still suffering from Brexit, he affects ignorance of the whole thing and avoids the issue in the time-honoured way: he puffs out his cheeks, sighs, shakes his head and says, ‘Fucked, mate.’
