Thanks to all those who have turned up to hear my stories and jokes...
NEWS FLASH: The show just won BEST LOCAL COMEDIAN at the Inaugural Time Out Cracker Comedy Festival Awards 2008. Um... I think it means most likeable Australian show, as opposed to Overseas act OR does it means I'm a Sydneysider now? I am told I was meant to get a Golden Chicken, but I couldn't make it along to the awards night because, ironically, the Best Local recipient was in Melbourne.
The show won 2007 THE AGE CRITICS AWARD for Best Australian Show of the Comedy Festival.
See the show at the
SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE, April 15-26, 2008
Edinburgh season August 2007
London season september 2007Part stand up comedy, part documentary, this brand new show is Lawrence's personal yet awkward quest for "coolness".
Lawrence Leung had a bunk bed until he was 24. It's fair to say he's never been 'cool'. Join him as he explores the hysterical history of 'hip' and finally settles the score with his older (infinitely cooler) bass guitar-playing brother.
It's a search that sends a kid from the wrong side of the trackydacks stumbling into the finals of a hardcore breakdancing championship.
What is "coolness"? Is it all a myth? And does doing a show about the notion of cool ultimately make one uncool? You decide.
"Of course, dorks trying to act cool is always going to be funny – just look at all the unhip white comics who talk like rappers for a quick laugh - but Leung takes it further than this. ‘Breakdance’ is a show with real heart, an uplifting message and hilarious lines that come thick and fast. What could be cooler than that?"
