The Boomer and the Doomer
About this event
Mark Allen and MC Boomer (aka Eric Tinker) bring you a comedy show about the ecological catastrophes facing the planet. The Boomer and the Doomer is a rollercoaster of emotions, from the comical to the absurd to the confronting. Mark (the pessimistic Doomer) is a social activist and a standup comedian. He is wondering how long he can remain vegan before he has to eat the neighbour's cat. Eric (the optimistic Boomer) is a musical comedian and a complacent old geezer who doesn't know what all the kerfuffle is about. However he is wondering how many franking credits his BP shares will bring him before Armageddon hits Earth. Can Mark and Eric settle their differences?
“This genre breaking show is thought provoking and very funny. A must see Fringe show for anyone concerned about where our planet is heading!” Curiositeas, Adelaide.
