CANCELLED - English Breakfast by AJ Lamarque

AJ Lamarque has started to contemplate the big questions in life – predominantly, how do you make the perfect cup of tea? His one-man show is an exploration of his upbringing, his mixed-race identity, his queerness and all the other pivotal parts of his life journey to date – to finally assess whether he’s found the ideal pot of tea, or whether perhaps the brew has turned sour.

★★★★ “a stand-up show, injected with silly radio play style soundbites, layered with beautiful storytelling, and dusted off with a mix of profoundly honest and vulnerable truths” TimeOut

"He has his finger on the pulse, tackles sharp topics with softness, and knows his way around a relatable anecdote'' Sydney Morning Herald

"Highly relatable, gently hopeful and laugh-out-loud funny" Theatre Travels
