Luke Heggie recently discovered that a slip of the tongue is now more commonly known as “his true colours” and that salted caramel was not just a fad. He'd like for these things to be rectified, but stopping short of standing in a major intersection waving around a plank with nails sticking out of it, there is nothing that can be done.

This show is not recommended for anyone who was brought up to believe nothing is their fault. Most things are your fault. No lowbreeds please.
'Utterly extraordinary... A knock-out.' ★★★★★The Age

'This is a perfect hour of sharp, slaying-them-in-the-aisles, stand-up comedy.' ★★★★ The Age
