Brisbane improv comedy juggernaut Poop Joggers are hitting the stage!
Between 2017-2018 the quiet Brisbane suburb of Greenslopes was preyed upon by a corporate executive (CE) and his foul behaviour. On at least 30 different occasions this CE would go for a jog in the wee hours of the morning and defecate on a residential apartment block. After a successful sting operation by the residents, the CE was caught and given the nickname Poo Jogger.
From this story, four of the best improv comedians Taylor Edwards, Chris Milne, Coen Gilbert and Chris Martin (all from Greenslopes) teamed up and the improv comedy juggernaut that is the Poop Joggers was born. They have been tearing up comedy stages around Brisbane for 2 years now PLUS they sold out their show at the 2023 Brisbane Improv Festival. Their shows are always wild and so so funny!
The Poop Joggers are the true definition of the proverb - "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." They are hilarious lemonade!
Join Big Fork Theatre for a night of celebration and fun as our newest improvisers take to the stage for the first time!
