I couldn't find a babysitter!
What happens when a single mum can't find a babysitter… but still has a show to run?
She turns the theatre into a playground.
Fresh from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, I Couldn't Find a Babysitter is a joyful family comedy where kids rule the room, adults are allowed to be silly, and everyone is invited to play.
For audiences aged 1 month to 1,200 months.
There will be animals.
A minimum of 10% of net profits will be donated to organisations supporting survivors of domestic and family violence.
