Agonist

Neil Thornton, that grumpy bearded guy who's won all kinds of awards (Best Comedian, Best MC) is back with an hour of new material about his lifelong, ceaseless, and futile struggles and obsessions. Protagonists, Antagonists, and the questionable use of an injectable agonist.

 

"Thornton is just a master of the craft of comedy - the room is totally unified and he knows how to follow our responses." - Theatreview

"A bold performer with intelligent material. Constantly amusing and thought-provoking." - ruminator.co.nz
