Bennett Cooper Sullivan is headed to Sydney, riding the frisky yak of a sold-out season in Canberra! What dowagers will he seduce? Foes fend off? And how many co**ses is he bound to unearth before breakfast?

Come, ye new south welsh, and have yourself a well-deserved treat of fun, well done – it definitely beats THIS century, after all...

Next up...SYDNEY. That's right, next week I'll be flogging this dead co**se to the newer part of southern Wales, 17–20 September at PACT for The Sydney Fringe 's Made in Canberra season!

I've performed at Sydney Fringe in the last two years in Clockfire Theatre Company's fantastically fishy fable, 𝑃𝑙𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝐹𝑖𝑠ℎ 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑆𝑒𝑎, winning Best Physical Theatre Award both times. 😏 𝑇ℎ𝑒 𝐶𝑎𝑑𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑟 𝑃𝑎𝑙𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑟 is another treat in the Lecoq tradition of physical storytelling, with buckets of silliness, skill, and physical flair.
