A man. 

A treadmill.

An entire unproblematic history of Australian sporting culture. 

Sports is COOL! Matty Johns, Israel Folau, Wayne Carey: Heroes. It’s the BEST part about Australia, and there’s nothing problematic about it.

Award winning Gaulier clown and theatremaker, Kyle Walmsley, brings this marathon of comedy and sports bullying to the stage. There will be blood (fake), sweat (real), and tears (who knows).

Kyle Walmsley is a Darwin based theatremaker and performer. He has won best theatre awards from Darwin Fringe and Newcastle Fringe. His last solo show Oyster Boy sold out at Darwin Festival to rave reviews. Kyle was a national finalist in Melbourne International Comedy Festival's Raw Comedy Competition. 

If you hate/love sport, let the games begin!
