About Luke Ditchfield

Luke Ditchfield: Please Stop Punching Me is a stand-up storytelling show at the Committee Room. Luke Ditchfield, an Australian living in the UK, explores his unfortunate habit of being hit in the head and face — examining the how and why of each incident and whether it has made him grow as a person. The show raises the question of whether children were involved, and if so, whether they won. The show runs for 40 minutes and is suitable for ages 16 and over.

Why see this show?

A comic premise that escalates absurdly — one man's repeated encounters with other people's fists. Punchy, self-aware, and short enough to fit into a busy Fringe day.
