What Would Bill Murray Do? by David Tieck - Melbourne International Comedy Festival
David Tieck, is a big fat absurdist, idiotic, stupid-faced, teddy bear-type person.
In this new hour of surreal silliness, David is officially promising to show off at least 37 totally weird, reckless and flippantly foolish ideas, as well possibly up to as many as one profound ideas.
After touring internationally with Two Little Dickheads, David Tieck returns with a solo show of high voltage nonsense, inspired by Bill Murray’s 'Let’s have some fun here' philosophy of life.
'Gorgeously weird.' Sometimes Melbourne
'Hairy and cuddly.' Chortle (UK)
'Can undoubtedly shred a guitar.' Lots Wife
Directed by Sharnema Nougar (Fringe Wives Club, Two Little Dickheads)

Feedback/Comments
Being silly is only funny if it's clever
needs better material.
I know he tried to make us feel happy with the 37 reckless ideas but they missed the mark and none were very funny.
Bravely performed which some people enjoyed
Very creative and learned a lot. Good use of props
Macarthur Park provides a fitting soundtrack for this absurdist fun. Tieck has energy and whimsy in equal measure. A good start to an evening's laughter.
If screaming at the audience, dick pics and ramblings are your thing you might enjoy it. I was disappointed on reading about the show it seemed interesting but did not find it very funny.
It started if well but hit a low mid way when crase lànguage was used and was hard to recover.
