London debut of the winner of the Age Critics’ Award for Best Australian Act at the 2007 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Lawrence bends over backwards in his hip-shattering quest for coolness, bringing his heart-warming new show to Soho, direct from an acclaimed run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
Sick of living in the shadow of his bass-playing elder brother, Lawrence tried to leave his Rubik’s cube and bunk bed behind and learn to be cool.
With photos, video footage and Venn diagrams, he documents a journey to coolness in which he encounters fellow geeks and trendy fashionistas, road-tests professional pick-up lines, and stumbles headfirst into a major breakdancing championship...
'BRILLIANT... his dance performance at the Melbourne hip-hop festival puts Napoleon Dynamite to shame.'

'The pace never slackens, the laughter is frequent and the content is beautifully timed.'
The Age (Melbourne) ****
'A show with real heart, an uplifting message and hilarious lines that come thick and fast.'
