Additional information
30 years ago, Sammy J traded comics with his school gardener. Ten years ago, he wrote a show about it. How does an awkward nerd end up with a federal policeman searching his attic? Why does Sammy owe his marriage to the United Nations? And how did he insert himself into a Parliamentary maiden speech?
Hero Complex is the five-star, must-see show of Sammy J’s career - a real-life, hilarious comic book adventure that proves sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.
Hero Complex won Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe in 2016 and in 2017 was nominated for Most Outstanding Show Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Best Comedy at Adelaide Fringe.
