Double Tribute

Overview

A gay intergalactic wizard breastfeeding a baby alien, an orphaned monster plotting revenge in a thick Latin American accent, the search for your robot best friend — Nick Coyle does not come up with normal things. Whatever you usually see at the theatre, if you see anything at the theatre, Coyle's work is not much like it. Yet his brand of comedy weirdness has proven widely palatable to us normals; his shows have toured Australia and won him two FBi SMACs for Best on Stage (2011 and 2013).

Now he's about to take one such funny/sad, sweet/mad, limitless/lo-fi work, Double Tribute, to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. But it needs a little dust-off at the Giant Dwarf first. Double Tribute is a tribute to dead girlfriend Jenny. But one tribute leads to another, and to find out about that one, you'll just have to hop on this journey of "sexual awakening and grief".
