In his debut solo show, Callum takes audiences on a journey through the absurdities of modern life, offering a dissection of some popular cultural contradictions, the complexities of love, and the ever-present spectre of existential dread. From the unspoken hypocrisies of self-proclaimed liberal ideals to the humorous chaos of human relationships, Callum’s material navigates the grey areas of morality and modernity with an offbeat perspective that feels both fresh and familiar.
Skirting the edge of predictability, the show dives into heavy topics with a light touch, finding humour in places you’d least expect. Callum blends sharp logic with self-aware humour, presenting himself as both the critic and the subject of his jokes. His ability to draw out the absurdity in universal experiences is complemented by a subtle, risqué energy that keeps audiences hooked and slightly on edge.
Get your tickets for a mix of wit, vulnerability, and side-splitting laughs, promising to challenge perspectives while leaving audiences thoroughly entertained. It’s a comedy show that’s as thoughtful as it is hilarious, striking the perfect balance between clever commentary and unfiltered fun.
