In the early 18th century Carl Linnaeus was the first to name us Homo Sapiens, literally meaning ‘wise human’. Given recent events, if he tried that now he’d be lucky not to get done for false advertising. Let’s face it, while we can occasionally be wise we can also be mind bogglingly stupid. From tulips that cost as much as a house, through atomic vacuum cleaners to planking or licking door knobs, or whatever other idiotic social media trend has emerged in 2025, stupidity has been one of humanity’s abiding and fundamental characteristics. Join stand up philosopher and comedic storyteller Stephen Sheely as he talks his way through a randomly selected bunch of stories about the human fondness for doing regrettable, inexplicable,and ridiculous stuff, in an attempt to unravel why we as a species do so many dumb things and what if anything we can do about it Disclaimer: The 10pm show on Friday 15th is Adults Only FAQs What time should I get there?

From the team that brought you The Human Voice and Moth comes the radical 1909 dystopian epic that predicted the internet.

Our Dashing Dads events are for the golfer who's keen on keeping fit, playing golf and starting their day in a hugely productive way. Night owls need not apply (you'd enjoy our Evening Experiences instead). This format is speedgolf - you'll be hitting and jogging - and aiming to finish your 9 holes in around 30 minutes. It is ambrose (or, alternate shots). You don't need to be extremely fit - just able to jog. We can even include golf carts if you really don't want to run. Watch the video below to get a sense of it. We created Tee30Golf because we like golf but dislike the time it took. As Dads we feel pressure to put work and family first at the detriment of our overall health. That is, until we rediscovered fun, fitness and social connection that Tee30Golf provided. We remove the uncertainty about who you are playing golf with and why. We focus on pairing you Dads with the same values and hobbies to ensure you can connect while focusing on navigating some of Melbourne’s fun and beautiful golf courses.

Are You There? is a dark comedy that takes place in the foyer of Autumn Dale Village over one long Friday. Autumn Dale is an aged care home and Pia is the energetic, loud, accidentally foul-mouthed director of first impressions. The foyer is her domain but the foyer also draws everybody to it, the fearful, the needy, the dying so directing first impressions is like herding cats. Pia, a captive audience chained to her spreadsheets and relentless work calls, keeps the residents amused and safe, while behind the scenes her personal life is descending into chaos. Her constant front-of-house companions for the last ten years have been 90-year-old Lauren and 75-year-old Colleen. Lauren spent her entire life with a deep sense of duty to God but now has been reduced to one questioning phrase. Is this a real question? Or simply a remnant of a thought, a last pulse from her slowly vanishing mind. Colleen, seemingly too young for aged care, became Autumn Dale’s problem after her mother, a resident, died and Colleen refused to leave. Pia's personal life is falling apart. Colleen's world is still ruled by her dead mother. Lauren devoted her life to faith, and now asks 'are you there?' But who cares because, thank God it’s Friday...

A medieval faire is being set-up: Welcome to the small, very fictional, market town of Cross Roads; under the guidance of Doppelgangster’s resident historian, an expert in the Civil War of England and Normandy, 1138-1153. Then an arrow whizzes through the theatre and the fragile pretense of order descends into, well, you know, you read the title didn’t you? The performers are climbing a siege tower, crashing through castle walls, attempting necromancy, and someone (at least) will be tortured (strictly medieval methods). The Anarchy (1138-53) follow the dark forest path of the artists’ prior works:'To Die Will Be An Awfully Big Adventure' (Theatre Works, 2024),‘Doppelgangster’s TITANIC’, ‘Cold War’, and ‘Puntila/Matti - works which have generated walkouts, physical fights, cancellations by venues less open to risk than where ever this is playing now (TheatreWorks? Ok great!), along with cult followings and critical acclaim. It’s part shocking anticomedy, part historical folk-horror, part pagan ritual, and part pyschedelic experimental performance. Galloping in on hobby horses and centaurs and the hand-forged armory of the nerdiest of folk events, Doppelgangster drag the limited storytelling of modern Medieval/Renaissance Fairs and reconcile them with the darkest of pasts.
