Golden Gibbo Award 2023 Nominee, Liam Sparrow-Gange's absurd stand-up show, 'The Magical Tram of Thought!' returns with new gags, new tram stops, and new existential crises!

'The Magical Tram of Thought' is a mystical tram tour around the Melbourne Central Brain Dimension, a place that showcases the collective thoughts of humanity. At least it used to. You see the tram has been closed for maintenance for several years and has been forgotten about by everyone. Well everyone except Liam Sparrow-Gange, who now finds himself the new owner of the tram, as well as its conductor/tour guide!

Now after a successful test run and 48 hour all-nighter learning the tram's history, Liam invites you to the tram's grand reopening, so come on down and ride the Magical Tram of Thought!

Please bring your Myki.

Note: Liam doesn’t really know anything about trams or the human psyche, but he might know a thing or two about comedy. Liam is a graduate of Collarts’ Comedy Course. This is an absurd stand-up show that looks into the flawed (but fun) parts of one's thought processes and preoccupations. The show follows a loose narrative that sends the audience into an adventure.
