A new show by Lou Wall about lying, mental breakdowns and the internet.

Nominee: Best Show
Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2024

Featuring Wall’s signature meme-fuelled PowerPoints and musical comedy, Breaking the Fifth Wall is a forensic and frankly ludicrous deep dive into the space where performance and reality collide. Nothing and everything is as it seems.

 

Directed by Zoë Coombs Marr.

Reviews

'A silly and profound stand up masterpiece.'
Guardian
'A rollercoaster ride: very clever but, above all, very funny.'
Times
'Slick, witty and unhinged – and always hilarious.'
Time Out
'The kind of all-singing, all-poetry-slamming gem that the Fringe is made for.'
Telegraph
'They were born to perform. It’s pathological.'
Fest
'Honestly, this is a boundary-pushing show. But dishonestly it is as well.'
