MICKEY WILSON
Friday 23rd January 7pm
UNHINGED, HIGH ENERGY, LIGHTNING WIT, RAW
He’s sold up EVERYTHING packed the kids & caravan, & gone ALL IN on standup comedy - Delivers his unfiltered perspective of his personal stories and experiences. Turning family chaos & self-deprecation into belly-hurting laughs, wild stories, cheeky filth, and brutally honest observations.
This Darwin-born larrikin takes the p**s out of everything: himself, his looks, his kids, and the clean freak inside him. A hard-shell Aussie dad with a soft, slightly unstable centre, Mickey brings quick wit, big energy, and brutal relatability.
Whether parent, non-parent, clean freak, or filthy party animal, this show will make you laugh, cringe, and feel better about your own life choices!
