About

The creator of SHAMELESSLY SEEKING ATTENTION and THE SOUND OF A SOCIAL CLIMBING NUN is back in a brand-new show about the joys and frustrations of travel.

Michael Bowyer has set foot on all seven continents. He’s got drunk from eating French fries, and had dinner with a cross-dressing nudist. He’s witnessed resurrections ON the hour in a South American city where you can rent hotel rooms BY the hour.

From militant coffee mugs to Communist lemonade; from a giant prawn to a gigantic cask; from Paradise to Paraguay; from Katharine Hepburn's Oscars to Cher's dressing room playset, Michael tells it as it was. He goes back to the days of traveller’s cheques, aerogrammes and when calling home meant 10 coins and 20 seconds of garbled conversation in a freezing telephone booth. And he talks fondly, with humour and pathos, of the friends who made every little disaster worthwhile.

There are photos, videos and a stunning 48-year-old poem that’s never been heard in public. Until now. Don’t miss 22 THINGS I'LL NEVER DO AGAIN.

Suitable for 16+

There are also sessions at the State Library of WA.
