John-Luke Roberts: What I Talk About When I Run About, Talking

Part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival

3 - 5 April, 8:30pm

What I Talk About When I Run About, Talking, is John-Luke's most stand-uppy stand-up show yet (although it’s also got poems and songs in it). A 4-laughs-a-minute (which is pretty good actually) meditation on mortality, human complexity and maybe also JL’s bulletproof theory that the UK’s (and Australia’s, come to think of it) monarch should be replaced with a tortoise as head of state.

Winner of the Besties Edinburgh Fringe Legend Award and one of The Telegraph’s (UK) 50 funniest comedians of the 21st Century. The Guardian have also said nice things about him and, tbh, he’s much more in their wheelhouse politically.
