Get ready to embark on a hysterical journey down memory lane in 'Not For Children's Programming', the side-splitting comedy cabaret written by the brilliant Samuel Roberts! This hilarious show takes a nostalgic twist as it delves into the baffling world of dating and adulthood through the lens of your favourite children's TV shows. This uplifting and empowering show seeks to change hearts and minds, using the infectious joy of song to bring light to topics often shrouded in darkness.

Following the rave reviews of Samuel's previous smash hit, 'Footballers Are A Godsend', which left audiences rolling in the aisles, he's back to tickle your funny bone once again! In 2022, Samuel proved that his comedic genius knows no bounds as he turned the world of AFL into a riotous playground of absurdity and unforgettable punchlines.

Now, he's set his sights on a new frontier: the unpredictable realm of dating and navigating the trials and tribulations of adult life. Brace yourselves for an outrageous evening filled with sassy innuendos, witty banter, and a whole lot of fabulousness.

So leave the kids at home, bring your sense of humour, and prepare for a night of sheer comedic brilliance that will have you laughing like a kid all over again!

"With Samuel’s natural singing talent he combines anecdotal stories with pop covers and original songs that enhances his storytelling. He is able to pull at the heartstrings of the audience one minute and then have them in stitches the next." - Tasha White, MelbourneTheatre.Info
