Start Your Own Cult

Comedy • Satire
Queensland • Australian Premiere

Take a wild ride through life, love, aliens, conspiracy theory and more. Mick Neven makes the looming collapse of civilisation sound like fun.
 
Part history lesson, part self-help guide, part time-travel adventure featuring 90’s Grunge band Nirvana. If you'd like to swap the Rat Race for the laid-back idyll of a Cult, this is your show. If you think there are too many ice cream flavours and you've never lined up for a new phone, this is your show. If you own a Star Wars Storm Trooper outfit or you like Monster Trucks, it's not your show. 
 
★★★★ “Neven’s stand up is so slick, he's seriously entertaining”, The Age.

★★★★ “He delivers a performance with punch, humour and a heart”, The Herald Sun.

★★★★ “A roller-coaster Wizard of a ride from Oz”, The International Times.

Presented by: Mick Neven

Mick Neven has been performing stand-up comedy around Australia and around the world for 20 years. He’s toured Canada and the US, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival five times and has completed three tours of duty to the Middle East to perform for Australia’s Defence Force members serving overseas. Mick is a two-time winner of the Perth Fringe World weekly award for Best Comedy Show. You may have seen him on television over the years, including on the Quiz show ’Temptation’ when he won $3500 cash and a $3000 washing machine, and on ‘Millionaire Hot Seat’ where he nearly won $250000 but missed out because he’d never heard of King Canute. Well done on making it this far through the presenter biography. You’re obviously a little bit interested. Buy a ticket, you'll enjoy the show.
