Little Squirt
Little Squirt is the uproarious multi award-winning musical comedy cabaret about the process of sperm donation with all original songs.
It follows the journey of musical comedian Darby James after clicking on a Facebook advert in Melbourne’s final lockdown. On this unforgettable voyage, Darby navigates a sea of existential mayhem, while considering the absurdities of procreation and pondering pathways to queer parenthood. In the midst of this hilarious and heartfelt adventure through genetic questionnaires, medical screening and psychological evaluations, Darby finds himself as a seaman stranded in moral purgatory, faced with the unanswerable question: should we be having children?
This show is part of Fringe Fix – a cracking handpicked selection of shows we think you’ll love from this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
