I Am Grease Grillson

I am Grease Grillson. I am NOT a clown doing physical comedy. I am doing SERIOUS weight lifting. It’s very heavy and I bet a big gorilla couldn't even lift this weight. 

But I can. Because I am Grease Grillson and not a big gorilla.

If you have a phobia of big muscles, don’t come to my show. 

If you are cool and have a moustache, you can come to my show. 

If you are cool and have no moustache, you can come to my show.

Praise for multi-award winning goofballs Elise and Duncan (but I dunno who they are because I am Grease Grillson):
“A hilarious display from some of Australia’s Silliest” ★★★★ ½ - Fringefeed
"Effortless enjoyment" - Magazine 600
"A star is born in Elise Wilson" - Seesaw Magazine

Presented by: Elise Wilson & Duncan Young

Elise and Duncan met at clown school in France, connected on their stupidity, and have since collaborated and performed together in Los Angeles, Michigan and Perth. Elise’s last show LOGUE LAKE was presented at Perth Festival and won four Performing Arts WA Awards including Best Mainstage Production, which Elise uses to pad out her CV. When she isn’t making “serious art” Elise improvises with THE BIG HOO HAA and wrote/puppeteered the Martin Sims Award nominated children’s show ELLIOT’S BIG NOSE AND THE SNOT THAT IT GROWS because she has the mental maturity of a six year old. When Elise wants to be taken seriously as an actor, she mentions her Black Swan State Theatre Co debut in YORK, and how she was nominated for a Best Newcomer PAWA in GRACE for playing an octopus.
