SMOKO

High-vis glamour meets outback grit in this whip-smart, queer comedy about landfill life, self-worth, and the rubbish we carry (inside and out). Join Beccy— outback landfill worker, hopeless romantic, and high-vis icon—as she dives headfirst into the filth to find meaning among the mess. With a hapless dating history and a gnawing sense of internal emptiness, Beccy descends into the depths of the dump and into herself to explore what happens when we begin to feel like the disposable items that have infiltrated our modern lives. 

SMOKO is a hilarious, heartfelt exploration of how we treat each other—and ourselves—in a world obsessed with stuff. Jasmine’s sharp writing and fearless performance promise a night of laughter, realness, and maybe a little catharsis.

'This show will make you laugh and wonder why you don’t get to the theatre more often. Do yourself a favour and check out this hilarious gay trash show from the Northern Territory' - Jay Darroch, Magazine6000.
