Australia's Worst Journalist
For years, a comedian-journo wrote dating advice articles while his own love life needed an editor.
Now, Sweeney relives some of the most bizarre contradictions between his own life, and the articles he was writing at the time - some of which have been read by over 100,000 people.
This hilarious hour is a celebration of mistakes told the only way Sweeney knows how - through jokes, stories and a 100+ slide PowerPoint presentation.
If you're a fan of ‘Everybody Has A Secret’, love hate-watching ‘Married At First Sight’, watch ‘Sex and the City’, or you’ve ever had sex while living in a city - this show is for you.
