We’re thrilled to announce that Marcelo Dos Santos’ (Backstairs Billy) breakout Edinburgh Festival comedy, Feeling Afraid As If Something Terrible Is Going To Happen will tour Australia in 2025. Starring Tony Award-nominee Samuel Barnett (The History Boys, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency), and directed by Olivier Award-winner Matthew Xia (Hey Duggee: The Live Theatre Show).
“I’m 36, I’m a comedian, and I’m about to kill my boyfriend…”
A permanently single, professionally neurotic stand-up finally meets his Mr Right and then does everything wrong. But is Mr Right quite what he seems? And how far will the comedian go to get a laugh?
From the stages of Roundabout, Edinburgh to The Bush Theatre, this “razor sharp” (The Scotsman) performance is scheduled to visit Melbourne and Sydney this 2025. Grab your tickets now and don’t miss out on a ‘frank, funny and occasionally filthy’ (The Independent) production!
