Unhinged vegan soy-boy Charlie gives up porn and hits the gay dating scene in the midst of an identity crisis. His disastrous attempts at connection spiral into three days of unbridled chaos, spurred on by a lockout and the contagious misery of his pet goldfish, Bob.

Protein returns for a third sen-soy-tional Melbourne season as part of Midsumma Festival 2023. Will Hall (Call Me Puritan) takes the reins of this hysterical one-man show about a messy millennial searching for love and morality in modern adulthood. Direction by Domenica Garrett and assistant direction by Cameron Steens (The Mentor, Bravo Arts). Production design by Betty Auhl. Written and produced by Darby James.

“Absolutely flawless – effortlessly shifting from comedy to heartbreak to hilarious despair to naive hope…” – Australian Arts Review

“Cheeky, engaging mix of humour and personal angst…” – Stage Whispers

Protein and Spunk Daddy will be presented as a double-bill season for five nights only.

*Content warning: Contains mature themes, coarse language and sexual references. Suitable for audience aged 15 and above.
