Adelaide Fringe 2022

Catching Jack

Three detectives and one rat will stop at nothing to take down Jack the Ripper. Separated in the darkness, they’ll need the help of new characters and old friends along the way.

Making their Adelaide Fringe debut after a sold out season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Big Big Big bring a tight hour of absurd sketch with a winding narrative. Directed by Ben Russell (The Grub, Hug The Sun, Aunty Donna), and written and performed by Big Big Big (The Candyman), Catching Jack is a twisting tale of mystery, betrayal and silly business.
