Laughing yourself smart by being silly
Jack's last three shows have been about failing the expectations of family (Gold Star Failure), church (God Hates Me) and the military (Erasing Mamhood) -- and now they are coming for the anti-intelligentsia with Post Hole Digger (PhD). Given they were a high school dropout, it's best to have zero expectations of this show, except to laugh yourself smart, without feeling silly.
All profits from this show will be donated back to Midsumma Festival. Why? Because Australian festivals need it more than Jack does.
This year Jack will be the same age George Carlin was when he was most famous. However they remain a queer trans comedic hack who doesn't gig enough in this neoliberal hellscape and who does comedy only 2% of the population cares about. In the grand old tradition of Australian comedy, they will do political comedy that no one but their diehard fans will come to (all 50 of them), hoping to never get a review in The Age.
