Horse Brother - Sydney Comedy Festival
It's not every day you meet someone who has a brother for a horse. Not, like, as a metaphor. A literal horse. But what does this have to do with why I could never get married? Or why patience is a virtue that I've never had? And by God, who cares if I'm a baritone?
Leo Amadeus is an actor, writer and musician who will take many secrets to the grave. With a fresh Advanced Diploma of Performance, he is taking to the Sydney Comedy Festival in an elaborate ruse to secretly acquire some peanuts. In this collection of comedy songs, you will be let into his world of the fornicating mice in his roof, the grudges he holds and the hijinks he gets up to when left to his own devices.
