Dane Hiser - Days Since Incident: Zero

According to brainy types, a ‘Black Swan’ is a highly improbable event defined by it’s impact, it’s unpredictability and our desire to make it appear more predictable than it was.

Comedian Dane Hiser is not in control. His life is full of “sh*tloads of black swans”; a “river” of black swans, if you will. And Dane Hiser has no paddle.

To call his life “shambolic” and “like a monkey at the wheel of a tractor” would be an understatement as he hurtles through life; fumbling, stumbling, shuffling and making it up as he goes along. Put it this way: watching Dane in a tiny train toilet cubicle with an arm full of stuff and the desperate desire not to pee on himself, would make for engaging reality television.

Following successful runs at Sydney Fringe Festival, Sydney Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe Festival, Dane Hiser unpacks his second solo show for the first time this September.

Join Dane as he explores the rare and unusual events of his daily existence and in the world around him in order to better understand his place in the world. Acclaimed author and academic Nassim Taleb believes you need to study the extreme in order to understand the common, and that is exactly what Dane will do in this show, in a much less brainy, and “hopefully” much funnier way.

“Flaunting ones foibles is part and parcel with being a stand-up comedian, but Dane Hiser manages to highlight his in a refreshing and compelling manner,” Nyssa Packham, Weekend Notes.

"When I first met Dane, I thought "he'll never be funny", then BAM!!! Like a superhero out of a phone booth...” Tommy Dean.
