Edinburgh Fringe
Charlie Lewin: Cockatiel
Winner: Best Newcomer - Melbourne International Comedy Festival (2021). From Catholic boy's school all the way to Grindr, Cockatiel is the soaring debut of Australia's 'rising star of stand-up' (TheMusic.com.au). Bending genre and gender, stand-up and song, Cockatiel is the whip-smart and relatable coming-of-age of a queer kid from Melbourne trying to find his flock. Heartfelt, hilarious and unapologetically queer, Lewin's comedy is 'fresh, reflective and so very funny' (WeekendNotes.com). 'Charming, sassy, with a great voice to boot... Lewin commands the stage like a Broadway theatre' (TheMusic.com.au).
