Toxic Millenniality
Presented by Zeppo Creative
Life in your 20’s is more than just
avocados. Alissia Marsh, Tom
Brady and Zeppo test how much
life experience they can fit into a
few decades, providing a hilarious
revelation of how the world looks
to three very different people.
Being LGBTQ+, African in Tasmania, serving in Afghanistan...
They’re real, they’re diverse and they’re damn funny!

Transgressive
Presented by Leo Kearse
Leo’s previous show was banned
from venues following allegations
of transphobia, despite being
written with a transwoman he
dated. His new show is a candid
account of sex and censorship,
ripping into political correctness,
environmentalists and ‘wokeness’. But most of all, the Scottish
Comedian of the Year 2017/18 is shockingly funny.
