An alien crash lands into a gay club!! Can YOU teach it to be human?

Nominee - Best Comedy - Melb Fringe 25
3 x Comedy Judges' Picks - Melb Fringe 25

Smoke and distant sirens wash over smouldering wreckage. WTF? You see a figure move in the bushes, a head pops up, it's large, it's round, it's crowned with two antennae. You wave, it waves back. You gasp, your gasp echoes back. It steps into the light, you want to scream but this thing looks f*#king ridiculous, but kind of adorable?

Why's it here? What does it want? Why's it copying me?

After the sell out Adelaide Fringe season of "If You're From Africa?" comes the debut clown show B48Y Crash Lands on Earth! (formerly listed as 84BY Crash Lands on Earth!) from Lukas Meintjes, taking alien to a whole other level. You thought Zimbabwe was far away? Try space.
