I Start Things But Don't Fin

On the eve of his high school reunion, Wallis rehearses how he will impress his classmates with what he's done in the past ten years. Deciding to recap through song and dance, he must find a way to justify his (questionable) life choices.

Featuring piano, guitar and a dash of imposter syndrome, this one-man cabaret will give a new definition of neurotic.

Debuting in the historic Museum of Comedy as part of the 2023 Camden Fringe Festival in London, the show will make its Australian premiere as part of FRINGE WORLD in 2026.
