More Information
British storyteller and comedian Gerard Harris presents a show that stretches from the deeply personal to the extraordinarily frivolous, looking at the foundational tales we tell ourselves and the narrative choices we make as writers of our own tragi-comedy. More importantly, we'll learn about the functionality of the average bulldog brain and the most humane way to dispatch a lobster into eternity. Equal parts philosophical, psychological and scatological, this award-winning comedy is “an unforgettable storybook ride of twists and turns told by a master craftsman” (Art Murmurs, NZ). At least that's their story.
