Oyster Boy lives inside an oyster. He is a big fishy weirdo just waiting to be shucked. But is the world ready for this nutrient rich, gender fluid, sand intolerant character?

Created by comic geniuses Kyle Walmsley and Elizabeth Millington, Oyster Boy is an hilarious black comedy for anyone who’s ever tried to fit in – but failed. After a Darwin Festival 2020 world premiere, this show was guaranteed to shock, delight, disturb and entertain.

This physical and absurd clammy comedy had you finding your inner bivalve mollusc!
