Milo Standards: Penis De Milo

The (drag) king of comedy is coming to Adelaide Fringe! The terrifying alter-ego of feminist comedian Kate Smurthwaite unzips the trousers of truth and lays it on the table.

With dating tips from his hit podcast The Schlong Game and masculinity so toxic Woodside would pump it in the sea, Milo Standards is here to explain to the feminists how they've been doing it all wrong. You're welcome, ladies...

Sure, some of the jokes are dark and twisted, but think how much worse it would be if it was a woman doing them? Catch him now before he gets CANCELLED.

★★★★★ “like all good satire, among the laughs, of which there are plenty, the jokes provoke serious pause for thought…powerful and beautiful…One day Kate Smurthwaite will receive the wider credit that she deserves.” On The Mic
