SUMMARY:Luke Heggie - Grogan
DESCRIPTION:These are the tribulations of someone just trying to stay alive until he’s dead\, while attempting to remain a man of the people. The people aren’t really honouring their end of the bargain. Besides nothing\, the crushing majority of people don’t know anything. In fact\, most of them are heading in the right direction for a smack. \nLuke 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. \n‘Utterly extraordinary… A knock-out.’ ★★★★★ The Age \nVenue: Fun Time Pony – 122 Alinga St\, Canberra City\nWhen: Saturday 26 October – 7:00pm (60 mins duration)\nTickets: $29.50 plus $0.50 ticketing fee
