As Aussies pad up for another sweltering summer, applying zinc cream to noses and lips while donning a floppy hat and swatting away flies and mozzies, musical sports satirist Denis Carnahan presents 'Cricket The Musical'.
A game already bloated with controversy, pantomime, heroes and villains, cricket is the perfect vehicle for Carnahan to impart his unique spin to create a high energy and hilarious one-man live show.2023 has seen the game engulfed in melodrama – from with Bazball, the Wandering Bairstow, feral Lords, Mankads, the rain-drawn Ashes, public player stoushes, moral victories and the first ever Timed Out.
Denis stitches together these moments and a stack more, producing side-splitting songs and parodies that'll have cricket tragics belly laughing for days.
Find out why sports broadcaster Jim Wilson declared Carnahan's performance: "It's brilliant. He's the Spinal Tap of Australian sport." While Aussie cricketing legend and former national captain Ian Chappell offers: "Great show. Really enjoyed it."
Tickets are on sale.
Denis Carnahan's 'Cricket The Musical' plays Memo Music Hall (Melbourne) 10 February.
