Jono Lee: Doghugger

"Lee’s comedy comes from the strength of his insight and his capacity to subvert expectations."

In his first Melbourne show Doghugger, Jono Lee offers audiences an energetic and warm presence, counter-balanced by his dark humour and twisted wit. Lee's comedy comes from the strength of his insight and his capacity to subvert expectations. Ostensibly a show written by a man who was once just a boy who loved dogs, he looks at the sometimes overly loving relationship between man and dog and through this paradigm explores many facets of life. Can comedy destroy relationships? Does a dog in a pram imbue its owner with sex appeal? Why do men love exfoliants? Jono Lee knows the answers.
