About Henry Bretz
Why I Sent Dad's Mate a Dick Pic is the solo Fringe debut from Australian comedian Henry Bretz, performing at Hoot 6. The show unpacks three of his real text conversations to explore the questions that have left his life stuck: why he sent an explicit picture to his father's best mate, why a gang of privately educated nineteen-year-old boys want to kill him, and what any of this has to do with fish. A sixty-minute stand-up storytelling show for ages sixteen and over, it follows the success of his previous show Viva La Visa.
Why see this show?
Henry Bretz has a gift for building absurdist comedy from the raw material of genuine personal embarrassment. Three real text conversations become the spine of something genuinely curious, and the fish question alone is worth the ticket.
