I Didn't Invite You Here to Lecture Me
A solo verbatim comedy set in a lecture theatre, with outrageously funny Mika Austin playing eight characters. Directed by Michael Hurst.
The makers of 2024 NZ Int’l Comedy Fest hit H.R. The Musical return to Christchurch with their solo verbatim comedy set in a lecture theatre, where Mika Austin takes you back to the classroom for a quick-fire education, word for word.
Seven years of verbatim quotes from 7000 pages of university notes are gleefully stitched together in this solo show following eight characters across multiple subjects. From linguistics to education to law and policy, this merciless examination of lecturers and back-row bandits is guaranteed to get you a degree in 60 minutes.
The show premiered in seven living rooms and a bookshop in Auckland Fringe and toured to Melbourne direct from a sold-out season at Auckland’s Basement Theatre. It has since been staged at Dunedin Arts Festival, The University of Auckland Business School, the prestigious Northern Club, a warehouse, and even a church. In 2022, all Christchurch performances of this show at Little Andromeda completely sold out.
