Token Events and Fine & Dandy Productions Oliver Coleman was nominated for Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2024. He’s back at Fringe with his best show yet! Pointed observational comedy combined with absurd flights of fancy in a show that is profound and profane, personal and totally absurd. No one else is doing stand-up like Coleman – a rollercoaster of outrageous theatrics, off-the-rails improvising and elegant writing. He searches for meaning in the minutiae of life, creating a show that is silly, beautiful and a helluva lotta fun. 'I love you' (Oliver Coleman). Strong language/swearing

Praise for his previous theatrical work: 'I left this show with the chills and feeling just a bit shaken' (MumbleTheatre.uk). 'It is really smart stuff, elegantly exposing hypocrisy' (Stage). 'Fantastically funny' (EdFestMag.com). 'One of the most skilled and likeable comics... a deliciously joke-dense show' (Scotsman). Strong language/swearing Age category: 14+
