Ross Daniels - Offline (Melbourne Comedy Festival)
 

Comedian gets more than he bargained for when he becomes a ‘Boom-fluencer’

Ross Daniels is back for the Melbourne Comedy Festival – although something’s wrong. He should be celebrating his thriving, new online following but instead an unseen force seems to be sabotaging his show.

During lockdown Ross took his unique collection of comic personas online and quickly became an infectious curio – an older content creator with a sizeable internet audience. With over 80,000 TikTok followers he qualifies as a 'micro-influencer' and has reinvented himself finding a broad, new fan base. But all is not smiley emojis. With online success comes trolls and it seems a pact with the internet might have diabolical consequences.

Offline – characters, satire and a dash of the demonic.  

'Superb' ★★★★ The Age

Ross Daniels is a seasoned performer who has worked on stage and television for over 30 years. He has appeared in more than 20 Melbourne International Comedy Festivals and has been an Adelaide Fringe Best Comedy Nominee. Along with his long list of comedy credits, he is an acclaimed Green Room-nominated dramatic actor.

Ross Daniels - Offline opens March 28 and runs until April 7. 8 shows only. Bookings recommended.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
