Parsnip of Power

Cabaret • Cross-Artform
Australia • World Premiere

From Joshua Kernich, award-winning storyteller, and multi-modal performer, comes one man's gripping journey of sex, love, and porn.

With modern myths, striking visuals, and a sobering true story of the perils of pretty pixels. Follow Scotty Schoolyard and the Fapstronauts in a 21st century tragedy reminding us that technology giveth and technology taketh away.


Joined by Patrick Grierson (aka Blooming) and his playful musical stylings & soaring vocals. This is a rich mix of storytelling, live music, and nostalgic visual wonders.

Presented by: Big Man Little Stories
