Chasing the Lollyman
by Mark Sheppard
A one-man show created by one of Queensland’s most dynamic and funny Indigenous performers, Mark Sheppard, and co-devised with Liz Skitch.
Description

Playing a variety of characters, weaving stand up with storytelling and clown, Mark pokes fun at everything from Neighbours (what would it be like if a Murri family moved into Ramsey Street) to politics.

ISBN: 978 1 921390 67 8
Reviews
"It is a joyous sharing of stories, a celebration of urban Indigenous identity and takes a satirical look at the media and popular culture."
— deBASE Productions, 2012
"An affable and winning actor, Sheppard’s picaresque offering is as original as it is Aboriginal, taking a light-hearted but surprisingly deep and personal look at Murri culture within a sketch framework, drawing on his own childhood in Mareeba among the Muluridgi mob."
— Time Off Magazine, 2010
"As original as it is Aboriginal."
