Footballers Are A Godsend

After a sold out Melbourne Fringe Festival debut, Samuel Roberts returns to his roots in F.A.A.G: Footballers Are A Godsend. This one hour comedy cabaret is an absolute screamer with original songs and stories of a young queer man's life in country football. After a couple of years on the pine, there has never been a better time to see this blinder of a show.

  • The star forward, Samuel Roberts, is a comedian, songwriter and performer in Naarm/Melbourne. He has spent the last three years performing his shows in various festivals across Australia. He also hosts and performs in Super Troupers Live - The Abba Party.
  • The coach of the season is Wes Snelling - award winning writer, director, performance-maker and titan of the industry.
