Angus has hit an innovative jackpot with the concept of his show. Part rap, part comedy, part physical theatre, Gus the Frog Spits Bars transports the audience to a dystopian world of rapping frogs, evil farmers and mysterious prophecies. With a captivating blend of whimsy and mystery, Gus the Frog Spits Bars takes audiences on an unexpected journey from the urban River Torrens to the enchanting yet troubled Clare Valley, where a magical curse threatens the land’s prosperity. The saviour of these lands and vines, is rap prodigy Gus the Frog, who undertakes the classic hero’s journey in an attempt to revive the barren Clare Valley.  

Angus has absolutely nailed the plot here. For a one man show, he effectively plays multiple roles, dropping many plot twists and turns. Gus the Frog invites the audience along with him as he attempts to solve the mystery, fostering audience intrigue. Shout out to the wine and winery jokes that of course, landed swimmingly with an Adelaide audience!

Angus’ artistic talents are also no joke. One moment he’s playing a stereotypical Aussie farmer, the next, he is spitting bars so hard your eyes are wide in amazement. He’s got speed and he’s got the articulation, the audience was so just transfixed and couldn’t help bopping along. Propelling the story through the variety of rap songs just further added to the craziness of the story, Angus clearly not afraid to have fun. 

This theatrical rollercoaster needs to be seen rather than explained. Angus has made the art of spitting bars a groundbreaking theatrical experience. I guarantee it is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before!
