FRINGE WORLD Festival 2026

The Honeymoon

FRINGE WORLD Award winning writer/performer/raconteur Matt Penny premieres a comical true story.

It's about fresh starts, babies, weddings, and total chaos—ending in a romantic honeymoon for 14 people.

It’s a tale of love, culture, identity, amputation, and old people getting high.

Moving from the UK to Australia with a 3-month-old and planning a wedding—all in one wild year—is as stressful as it is (in hindsight) absurdly funny.

In his first auto-biographical show, the Blaz Award winner and Martin Sims Award runner-up (Find the Lady, 2018) blends sharp storytelling, humour, and a dash of nostalgia to bring his epic journey to life, where big dreams crash into reality.

Laugh at the messy beauty of love and starting over in a foreign land. At its heart, it’s all about family.
