TEACHER

Comedy • Theatre
Victoria • SA Premiere

Drawing inspiration from his 13 years in the primary school education sector, 'TEACHER' is half-part sketch and half-part stand-up delivering 50 minutes of heartfelt hilarity.

★★★★1/2 "Teacher is an hour filled with a torrent of witty word-play, clever call-backs, moments of poignancy and a smattering of dick jokes. A+ marks all round." The Age

★★★★★ Upside News 

★★★★ "This is clever comedy" Herald Sun
