A Lovely Day To Be Online
Singer-songwriter and self-obsessed internet addict Connor Morel fronts a live band in this original gig-theatre show that asks: are we doing the internet right? Is the first video of a cat playing the piano as good as the 80th? Is the convenience of being able to talk to anyone worth the inconvenience of everyone being able to talk? And would life just be easier without it all?
From the fake Instagram influencers, to the radical keyboard warriors; the scamming crypto-hackers to the obsessive YouTube addicts: we’re all in the sauce. But is it all going too far? And what would it take for us to realise it is?
Full of original soul-pop tunes, stories, memes and a whole lot of heart, this show delves into the humanity of how we use the internet, and how it preys on us when we’re at our worst.
Supported by Geelong Arts Centre, A Lovely Day To Be Online is a hilarious look into internet culture, and a glaring critique into who we become when we leave the real world.

Clever and thought-provoking.

Great night
Entertaining and funny, but often difficult to understand the words as the music was played very loudly
I loved it
lots of fun, bit short
Topical,relative and humorous
Entertaining storyline
A great evening out!
an entertaining voyage into internet usage and how we are formed by it
Super talented singer and actor (actually all three of them on the stage), great singing, and smart text that makes the audience think about our everyday (online and offline) behaviours!
It provoked laughter, introspection, and "call to action" ... to moderate dependency on online media and online persona building and presence.
The audience clapped and cheered and laughed throughout the show.
Overall a splendid show and experience worth having!
Thank you, Connor!
Fun songs, good tunes. Good night to relax for an easy going show.
Great insight into the human mind, delivered with humour. The music was fantastic and the lyrics made it better still.
The songs were catchy, profoundly moving and amusing!
Incredible! Brilliant songs, heartfelt, witty and very entertaining! Connor Morel is a genius.
A fantastic show - Connor is a fantastic entertainer who can make you laugh, cringe and (nearly) cry all within the hour! A thought provoking show, yet here I am…online!!
