Comedy star Michelle Brasier’s all-singing, all-joking, all-heartbreaking show – about her experience living in the shadows of a hereditary illness – has been a rocket to acclaim. It’s received rave reviews and multiple awards at Sydney and Melbourne comedy festivals, had sold-out runs in London and the Edinburgh Fringe, plus a Paramount+ comedy special.

Average Bear tells the story of a family torn apart by grief, teenage fumblings in the dark and a bear with a deathly fear of hibernation. It reminds us that life is too short to waste and too long to take seriously.

Catch her hilarious, deeply personal, finely tuned – and phenomenally successful – cabaret when it returns to Sydney for two nights only.
