OBSERVER: Tiny King


Nathan Hugh Robért presents Tiny King as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival from April 7 – 20 at The Motley Bauhaus, Carlton.
In his show about height, power, and the absurdity of being small, Nathan plays a banished king trying to save his kingdom with comedy. The only problem is he’s not a comedian. He’s a king.
Nathan lives with cerebral palsy, a motor neuron condition that limits his mobility. This is implied and baked under layers of absurdity.
Influenced by Stewart Lee, John Kearns, and Oliver Coleman, Nathan talks about his experience in an irreverent and disarming way.
Performance Season: April 7 – 20 at 7.15pm. Venue: The Motley Bauhaus, 118 Elgin St., Carlton. Bookings: melbournefestival.com.au
