Welcome… to a comedy about complaining. Join John Robertson as he vents his spleen, kicks against the pricks and wildly stomps through the irritating world we live in.

“When did humans first start bitching? Who are these people that yell out of moving cars? Why did they kill fat cat? What sort of game is ‘Forky-Pokey Time’?”

John travels through time, pop culture and his ridiculous personal life in a show about when the stakes are high, the chips are down, and all you can do is whinge.

Using projection, puppetry and live music, Don’t Swallow: A Handy Guide to Keeping Your Head Above Water (In an Ocean Filled With Shit) is part cabaret, monologue and stand-up.

If you’ve ever felt ripped off, pissed off, beaten or down in the dumps, come and be cheered up by the healing power of getting grumpy.
