Wee Stu's Stunted Growth - A Tragicomic Triptych in Three Gear Changes

World Premiere.

A tragicomic triptych in three gear changes.

Three short shows for less than the cost of two cheap drinks at The Garden or Gluttony.

1) WeeStu Is Not A MAMIL, midlife crisis meets the tour de farce.
2) The Lederhosen Chronicles, childhood trauma meets PTSD.
3) The Braveheart Sonnets, Braveheart slaughters The Bard.

A tragicomic journey through the highs, lows and existential crises of one small man, one modest leap for theatre. 

Warning possible coarse language (WeeStu comes from Scotland!), partial nudity, references to wartime trauma, PTSD, cycling, Lederhosen and frequent use of iambic pentameter!

A truly unforgettable experience. You won't leave empty handed!

I started stand-up comedy in 2019 following retrenchment from my IT job. Since then I've appeared in line up shows at every Fringe and become a regular feature act on the Adelaide comedy scene. I have performed at the Adelaide Fringe as a named guest artist in stand up comedy including opening for The Borderers at the Arkaba and performing at The Best of Comedy show at the Historian Hotel, The Best of the Fringe at the Griffins Head, International Roast with Multicultural Comedy and others. Outside the Fringe I am a regular at venues such as Cranker Comedy, The Rhino Room etc, and have matured into the position of feature performer and MC. I made my 'serious' acting debut in the 2024 Adelaide Fringe production Cypress Point. WeeStu's Stunted Growth is my debut solo show.
