Melbourne Fringe Focus: Mucky Melbourne Walking Tour

Answered by: Reverend Grebo

Describe your show in a tweet: Pulling back the stained bed sheet of Melbourne to reveal its filthy history. A historical walk exploring the places that were popular for all the wrong reasons.

Why did you decide to do Fringe 2015? I decided to do Fringe because these stories need to be told out loud instead of being whispered and giggled at. The old farts in charge like to pretend history is boring with the occasional spurt of joy. When in reality history is more like bukkake: filthy and grimy with lots of spurts of joy that end up being a big mess that no one wants to admit they find fascinating and sickening at the same time.

Tell us a bit about the creative team working on the project: Technically it's a one-man show. I researched it, wrote it and I'm performing it. But if it wasn't for all my perverted friends, my workmates, the Australian Lesbian & Gay Archives, the Cinema Sewer books and the Technicolour Yawn website, this show wouldn't have been made. So I must give them credit for inspiring me, helping me, encouraging me and occasionally kicking my arse to get this show happening.

In a fantasy world, who would you be the love child of and why? I'd be the gayby baby of the Antichrist and the second coming of Jesus. Because my teenage rebellion years would have been really confusing, but epic.
