It’s been an exciting ride for Perth Comedian Michael Workman, who in 2009 took out the top honour in the Melbourne International Comedy Festival’s ‘Raw Comedy’ competition. With accolades piling up, Workman has been feeling the pressure, and this year he delivers a striking debut show.

“The Ogre” is charming, original and dangerously funny. Brimming with one-liners and bizarre anecdotes, Workman presents a moving deconstruction of his father’s depression and lifelong battle with alcoholism. It is perhaps atypical subject matter for a comedy show, and yet “The Ogre” manages to remain simultaneously thoughtful and hilarious.

“Equal parts brilliant and bizarre, Michael is one of the most original voices on the scene in years. If Nick Cave did stand-up it would look a bit like this.” –Wil Anderson.

For those who like their comedy clever and ever so slightly absurd, “The Ogre” is a must see feature of the Sydney Comedy festival. Come and see 2009 Raw Comedy Champion Michael Workman in his first solo show.
