The Grade Cricketer Podcast – LIVE!

2 February, 2019 @ 7:00 am - 9:30 am

$40 – $60

Get your rig in to shape and your salad sorted, cos the Grade Cricketer lads are coming to Canberra for a very special LIVE podcast.

As wide-eyed juniors, Dave Edwards, Sam Perry and Ian Higgins all dreamed of playing cricket for Australia one day. That was before they entered the harsh, dog-eat-dog world of Australian grade cricket, where their hopes and dreams were swiftly extinguished; their cricketing careers subsequently laid to rest. As a form of catharsis, ‘The Grade Cricketer’ was born: a desperate, delusional ‘everyman’ that thousands of middling amateur athletes can relate to, even if they refuse to admit it publicly.

Fresh from their chart-topping podcast, The Grade Cricketer, the trio are now taking their wares to the live stage. Join them as they attempt to hold a mirror to that dark, inescapable intangible that binds us all: Australian Cricket Culture.

‘The Grade Cricketer has taken us so far inside a district club dressing room that you feel like a locker. Ligaments could not be closer to the bone than some of his observations.’ Kerry O’Keeffe – Commentator and former Australian Test Cricketer

‘The beauty of The Grade Cricketer is he is more than a grade cricketer — he is every cricketer, from the park to the SCG. His insights into the game make people laugh mostly because they reflect every cricketer’s unspoken convictions. We all live vicariously through him, as he does us.’ Ed Cowan – Former Australian Test Cricketer

‘The Grade Cricketer is strange and, I suspect, brilliant’. Wisden

“Does anybody listen to this?” Brendon Julian, former Australian Test Cricketer

Podcast will be on the evening of Day 1 of the Cricket Test between Australia and Sri Lanka.

Tickets are $40 Standard and $60 for VIP which includes seat in the front two rows, and exclusive post show meet and greet Q&A.
