A South African Son
Back for a second season after selling out at Fringe 2025, this sharp, laugh-out-loud stand-up show will have you in fits. Join Chris Pucillo as he dives into the bizarre and chaotic experience of growing up in 90's South Africa, and unpacks the strange intersections of history, trauma, and family. Blending absurdity with poignant reflections, this show hilariously explores how surviving an upbringing during the birth of a nation shapes a new generation of parenting—and why some scars just have to be laughed off.
