Dan can’t focus. He doesn't know if it’s microplastics, long covid or because he pays $500 a week to live in a mould experiment.

This year Dan:

  • Went to a rally dressed as Boba Fett and was bashed by both police and protestors
  • Formed a parasocial relationship with a Doordash chatbot
  • Lost all his crypto trying to buy a mermaid skeleton

Winner: Best of the Fest | Sydney Comedy Festival 2025
Winner: Director’s Choice Award | Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2025
Winner: Piece of Wood Award | Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2023
