Paul McDermott Plus One: Blood Orange

Paul McDermott & his long suffering, but extremely talented + 1 return for more mayhem, beauty and wonder at The Brunswick Ballroom. 

2023 sees the next instalment of the COVID SUITE.  A conceptual odyssey chronicling (through comedy, song, and liturgical dance) the downfall of civilization (thus far with 100% accuracy).  

Find out where we’ve been, and where we’re going in this dazzling creation that critiques contemporary society.  Featuring glorious life affirming music, with disconcerting & dubious comedy.

SO GOOD - IT’S WRONG!

Get a ringside seat for the end of the world.  As nations battle it out for global domination, and we edge ever closer to nuclear annihilation, or some divine reckoning - Let’s kick back, and have a final giggle.  Dark laughs and cruel humour abound in this new engaging work.

If you’re not going to enjoy it - stay the f**k away!

(For the Freedom Fighters, and the Cookers. You know who you are).

DOORS 8.30PM // SHOW STARTS 9PM // STARRING CONNOR MOREL

Singer-songwriter and self-obsessed internet addict Connor Morel fronts a live band in this original gig-theatre show that asks: are we doing the internet right? Is the first video of a cat playing the piano as good as the 80th? Is the convenience of being able to talk to anyone worth the inconvenience of everyone being able to talk? And would life just be easier without it all?

From the fake Instagram influencers, to the radical keyboard warriors; the scamming crypto-hackers to the obsessive YouTube addicts: we’re all in the sauce. But is it all going too far? And what would it take for us to realise it is?

Full of original soul-pop tunes, stories, memes and a whole lot of heart, this show delves into the humanity of how we use the internet, and how it preys on us when we’re at our worst.

Supported by Geelong Arts Centre, A Lovely Day To Be Online is a hilarious look into internet culture, and a glaring critique into who we become when we leave the real world.
