Marketing Man
Fringe festivals across the country are unanimous: just ignore him — he’ll eventually disappear. Go away. Ignore his ads, unsubscribe his Afterpay hellscape.
He’s the ad you’ll try to turn from. The punchline nobody asked for. Oily. Cringe. The sketch you hate, the love you love — the show you swear you’ll never f$£kin’ watch again… but will. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No — it’s an almost-boomer man-child who can’t show his face on TV because he’s a dentist. He’s Don Draper. He’s Scotty from Marketing. He’s Mr see-ya-next Tuesday, bruv. What’s his name?
“Move over, Wil Anderson. Marketing Man’s here to show you the real Gruen!” Theatre Matters ★★★★ "The audience is left in stitches from start to finish at Wilson’s talent for storytelling. Laugh until it hurts" Theatre Travels. Stitches?
Presented by: MJ Wilson
Wilson's work blends satire, truth, and hype-culture swagger into a one-man performance that’s part stand-up, part self-development seminar, and fully Fringe. Perhaps he's even too fringe for fringe. His work sits at the crossroads of theatre, comedy, and motivational chaos — speaking to anyone who’s ever hustled hard, crashed harder, and come back hungrier.
MJ Wilson is a community-builder & emerging creative producer whose work fuses sharp marketing insight with cutting edge performance. With a background in community services working with vulnerable people, Wilson creates shows that explore ambition, burnout, and belonging — all with a wink and a wild streak.
