50 minutesHoot 3
Freshly minted Brit Sully O'Sullivan irreverently celebrates and satirises all that's great about Britannia in one comedic swoop! Having blitzed the UK Government's controversial citizenship test, award-winning Kiwi comedian Sully O’Sullivan shines a light on the reality of Britain’s claims to greatness. Like how do you apologise for accidentally hanging a monkey because you thought it was a French spy. Was Queen Elizabeth really her own cousin? And what’s actually in brown sauce to make it taste so... brown? 'A blast of hilarity‘ (ManchesterEveningNews.co.uk). 'A hilarious deadpan crash course on Great Britain‘ (Theatreview.org.nz).
