What’s it like to be a real human man in a world of lying “zookeepers” and stand up comedians? Michael Hing tells all in an engaging hour of fun and life insight. Nestled into the Spiegel Zelt at the Garden of Unearthly Delights, Michael’s one-man act takes Fringe goers through his thoughts on comedy, parent-child relationships, and some of the more topical events of 2026.

Jokes and comedic jabs are weaved into Michael’s choice storytelling, feeling like a conversation with a long-lost friend who’s even funnier than you remember. But not all of his show is limited to side-tickling gags. Audiences get a peek into Michael’s real life with his concerns about raising a child in a very white world and comparisons between Pauline Hanson and Usain Bolt. 

Nevertheless, you’re sure to get a kick out of the performance. Empowered by his well earned funny bone after over 15 years of industry experience, Michael is back at the Adelaide Fringe with a killer show. And if you take away one thing from the 60 minutes of crowd work, jokes at the expense of white people (FINALLY!), and hard truths about just being human, it’s to never trust a white woman in khaki talking about chimps.
