Last year, Zachary Ruane (Aunty Donna, The Mish & Zach Podcast, Comedy) debuted his first solo show – it was described as “a mighty fine show” (The Age) with a “stunning gag rate” (The Skinny). But did you know that it was once a “work-in-progress” described as “yeah, I can see where you’re going with it”?

In 2027, Zachary is back with a brand new show that will be even better than his first. This is not that show. Because Zachary will be arriving in Adelaide with no more than a dream and a couple of ideas in his notes app.

At Adelaide Fringe, Zachary will be building his show step-by-step, day-by-day by riffing, ranting and maybe even filling out the hour with a Q&A. Be sure to get in early and you might even see him cry as he realises how stupid he is for doing this again.

Women possess ‘Feminine Wiles;’ An effortless ability to charm, attract and persuade men. But what if it’s not instinct; it’s survival.

Honest, irreverent and painfully relatable, this debut show asks what happens when you stop performing perfection and start telling the truth.

‘Hello Pervert’ is is the story of how Tilly Harrison got hacked.  An event she believes is the fault of her offline upbringing…and of course, her mother. Tilly explores the events that led up to the hacking, explaining what it was like to grow up offline, in a post-y2k world. Tilly attempts to answer the famous question, “chat, are we cooked?”, all while presenting alongside a PowerPoint, a medium she deeply fears.

The show explores the perverted world we live in – why do I know that my dentist got married? – due to social media. It explores the absurd realities of living in the digital age, told through the eyes of the only gen Z who grew up offline.

‘Distracts themselves and others’ Year 3 Teacher

If someone sits in a dark room, paying to watch, but the performer has begged them to, watching them back, who is the real pervert?

The Maid, the Mother, The Crone are ancient symbols of femininity – marking the passing of time, guiding us gently from one phase into another. Alas, how can we grow in 2027 when our faces must remain frozen and yanked back? 3 characters take the stage, paying homage to the origins of early standup, this unholy trinity has come to make you scream, gasp and cackle. A stripper clown, a wan saxophonist and a powerful club comedian weave together a piece that is a raunchy dissection of voyeurism, femininity and libidinal economies.

“Flirty and filthy Kiwi force of nature… submit to the hurricane and see where it takes you” Chortle
