Oliver Coleman is front on to the camera looking directly into it, his grey eyes wide and his lips shut. He has curly, brown hair, a short beard, moustache and stubble. He wears a dark blue zip-up jacket over a light grey knitted jumper with a geometric design in mid and dark grey. The lighting is such that a shadow falls on the left of his face and neck. The background is fawn.

Oliver Coleman - The Ballad of Oliver Coleman

Oliver Coleman was nominated for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2024. Now, he returns with his best show yet!

Pointed observational comedy combined with absurd flights of fancy in a show that is profound and profane, personal and totally absurd. No one else is doing stand-up like Coleman, a rollercoaster of outrageous theatrics, off-the-rails improvising and elegant writing. He searches for meaning in the minutiae of life creating a show that is silly, beautiful and a helluva lotta fun.
