  • Created and Performed by: Phillip Lee Curtis (Possible Prince X)

‘Not That Good, Not That Funny’ takes a look at what it’s like to forge a path in the entertainment industry when you’re mediumly talented, too tired to network, and not interesting enough to be niche.

In an intimate setting and an 'Audience with’ style, Phillip Lee Curtis (PoshLopez, Possible Prince X) will guide you through the realities of life in the spotlight, the good (as in 'good God what have I done?'), the bad (reviews), and the ugly (begging influencers to play your silly little song on their stupid big TikTok so you can make 10 whole cents).

If that’s not enticing enough, he’ll also be dropping names. And not just people who came 16th on The Voice in 2013, but actual famous people! A Gold Logie winner (from the 90's when that actually meant something), a Hollywood Bad Girl (from the 90's when that actually meant something), and one of the most celebrated music icons of all time (seriously, you will know her).

Between these stories will be songs you know, songs you don’t, and song you won’t realise you know until half way through when you go “oh yeah I do know this song”.

‘Not That Good, Not That Funny’ will have you embracing all that’s mediocre about yourself and saying “if this idiot can do it, so can I!”
