Courier

Theatre and Physical Theatre • Solo Show

Australia • SA Premiere

One courier. One impossible delivery. How far will he go to complete his order?

Written & performed by Piers MacKenzie, fresh off his starring role as Daniel Radcliffe in Edinburgh Fringe 2024’s most talked-about show, TERF. This dark comedy, inspired by his time as a Deliveroo cyclist, dives into a fractured mind where reality and imagination collide as the brakes come off.

Strap on your helmets and grip those handlebars tight—this ride is full of sharp twists, sudden turns, and plenty of bumps along the way.

“Hilarious... carrying an intense, darker undertone.” – Magazine 6000

“Raucously funny.” – Perth Theatre Reviews

Presented by: Piers MacKenzie

Piers MacKenzie, born in Hong Kong and raised in Perth and Adelaide, Australia, has built an international career across theatre, film, and television. In 2023, he was nominated for UK’s Broadway World's Best Leading Performer for his portrayal of the title character in The Picture of Dorian Gray with the Offie-nominated Midnight Circle Productions. His film work also expanded that year with a lead role in Little Hearts, an Indian feature film released in cinemas worldwide.

Most recently, he took on the role of Daniel Radcliffe in TERF, Edinburgh Fringe 2024’s most talked-about show at The Assembly Rooms. The Daily Telegraph hailed it as “the most provocative play to hit Edinburgh Fringe in years,” and it went on to win the Somewhere For Us: Fringe Award.
