Cassie Workman has spent the past two years living and working in the US. She has returned home to Australia with tales to tell – but perhaps not the ones you were expecting.
At the centre of her new show, You Are Here, is an extended metaphor about modern capitalism told through a young Hispanic boy’s battle with a sentient shopping mall. If that sounds weird, that’s because it is. This is a Cassie Workman show, she tells us as she grills a plastic lobster over a cellophane fire, anything could happen.
Cassie Workman: You Are Here is at Melbourne international comedy festival until 19 April, then Brisbane comedy festival 30 April – 3 May, Perth comedy festival 9-10 May and Sydney comedy festival 13-17 May
