Michael Hing

Not a show about Shakespeare, but rather, a show detailing how much Hing worries about what other people think of him. He tells us all the lengths he goes to in order to not appear creepy or rude but in the process digs himself so deep that he very much ends up appearing so. There are cringeworthy stories about dick pics, bodily (mis)functions, racists in Perth trying to be friendly – crass subjects, perhaps, but Hing speaks of them eloquently –  all delivered in an endearingly natural, slightly self-deprecating manner. Hing’s reveals always ensure a gasp-worthy finish, and his show evokes consistent laughter throughout.
