Sydney Premiere

How do you measure a man? Is it the way he walks, the way he talks?

The critically-acclaimed Gavin Roach returns to Sydney with his one man show, The Measure of a Man. Told in Roach’s trademark humorous, raw and deeply candid style, The Measure of a Man will stare into the heart of one man’s sexual anxieties and pull out the kinds of stories much LGBTI theatre shies away from – stories often shrouded in embarrassment or shame.

A perfect balance of comedy and drama, The Measure of a Man shifts from light-hearted and uproariously funny moments to gut-wrenching, dark moments that expose the scars and open wounds that still remain, hidden beneath the glitter.

The Measure of a Man is unmissable – if there is a show that will enchant, enlighten and exhilarate in equal measure, this is it!

“The performance is always strong and the explicit reflections on sexual meanderings are extremely insightful.” Stage Whispers

“An excellent piece of work, which highlights Gavin Roach as an artist to watch.” The Australia Times

The Measure of a Man is highly recommended regardless of your gender, age or sexuality.” OUTinPerth

Address: 1 Queen Elizabeth Drive, Bondi Beach 2026
