Join Cam as he digs through the record crate of his life, pinballing from hilariously true stories, to cutting cultural commentary, to full blown pop songs.

Ever wanted to know what your high school teacher actually thought of you? Or whether she believed your excuses? Or what she wanted to say to the Year 8 boy who refused to leave the class? Well, you’re going to want to see this show.
Before Bron Lewis was one of Australia’s most promising new comedians, she was a high school teacher for almost a decade. It was an era where she both nurtured young hearts, encouraged kids to be brilliant, but she also made some lifelong enemies. You’ll hear more about them this show than the nerds. Bron became a teacher because she hates learning – she would rather saw off her own legs then learn a new card game. Bron raises the question: what happens when someone tries to avoid learning at all costs? They teach. Sit down, and get ready to learn.
Ray O’Leary (Taskmaster, Have You Been Paying Attention?) pulled a man from a wrecked car and as the man lay dying, he used his last ounce of strength to ask Ray (Best Show Nominee at the 2024 Melbourne International Comedy Festival) to tell his children that he loved them. And Ray (sold out tours to Melbourne, Edinburgh and more) will get round to it but first he has to do this comedy show.
Your favourite movies translated badly.
Each night, we take a different classic film script, run it through an online translator a dozen times, and then read the results live on stage in character!
The final twist is that the guest stars read the scripts on stage for the first time.
To get the most enjoyment, we recommend you watch the film beforehand.
