B48Y Crash Lands on Earth!
Nominee - Best Comedy - Melbourne Fringe 2025
2 x Nominee - Spirit of the Festival - MICF Dumpster Awards
Perth locals were shaken last night after a UFO ploughed into the infamous gay nightclub [redacted] on Beaufort Street. Witnesses thought it was part of a drag show gone horribly wrong until the smoke and amyl cleared.
A being emerged from the wreckage, with one witness describing it as “kind of messed up but in c***y way”. Local drag queen Shirley Knot alleges the being stole two of her wigs and her vape, but this cannot be confirmed.
An extraterrestrial clown show that asks – can you teach this alien how to be human?

Presenter
Presented by: Lukas Meintjes
Lukas was born and raised in the stunning, corrupt and inflation-riddled Zimbabwe. He moved to Melbourne at 16 and became a VCA and NIDA reject, before landing a spot in the budget year-long NIDA acting course, then stumbled into clowning. He's since trained under Phillip Burgers, Clare Bartholomew and Emily Goddard, rather than f**k off to France. His debut show If You're From Africa? got 2 x Comedy Judges' Picks at Melb Fringe '24 and successfully toured to Adelaide Fringe, MICF, Pride Fest and more. Lukas' new show B48Y Crash Lands on Earth! was nominated for Best Comedy at Melb Fringe '25 and received 3 x Comedy Judges' Picks. He's also been nominated for the Spirit of the Festival twice at the MICF Dumpster Awards.Social media
