Writer for Spicks and Specks

Winner Best Overall Eat & Drink Award 2024 Adelaide Fringe

Winner Best Comedy Weekly Award 2024 Perth Fringe World

For nearly 3 years, comedian-journalist Sweeney Preston wrote relationships & dating articles while his own love life was in the toilet.

Now, with the clarity of hindsight, Sweeney relives the most hysterical intersections between his own life, & the articles he was writing at the time - some of which have been read by over 100,000 people.

From radio interviews gone awry, to a couples getaway attended solo, & an ending that might have you questioning every piece of advice you’ve ever been given - this hilarious, surreal & poignant debut solo hour is an uplifting celebration of mistakes told through jokes, stories & a big f%#ken PowerPoint.
