6475_pg-fleet_eful_guide

Greg Fleet's "Ten Years In A Long Sleeved Shirt" is one of the most influential and memorable of all solo comedy festival shows, both here and across the globe. "The Boy Who Cried Sober" revisits the twin themes of love and drug addiction and asks “Just how honest was the first show?". While never forgetting to do a massive horsey bomb into the pool of hilarity; Fleety examines the pain, shame and destruction of life as an addict. In this new show full of pathos, vulnerability and humour, Fleety asks all the BIG questions, like "Does waking up in a Dublin hospital have a negative effect on your international comedy career?" and he examines the BIG issues such as, “when does fiction become truth…oh, silly me, that’s when you get away with a lie…” 'He succeeds in dragging us to extremes of laughter, embarrassment and pity, but mostly laughter' The Independent, London 'Hilarious, hard-hitting….hug this man today' The List, UK “The Ned Kelly of Australian comedy. He is single handedly responsible for shaping much of the tone of Australian standup comedy (and a couple of stagecoach robberies)” (Stewart Lee)
