The Martin Sims Award Winning Show VEHICLE Will Make Its Adelaide Debut

WEEPING SPOON PRODUCTIONS will present Adelaide Fringe debut of this award-winning comedy from the creative minds behind Award-Winning shows BEANSTALK and THE BALLAD OF Frank Allen.

Two of Perth's most famously unknown comedic powerhouses join forces this Fringe to bring you a madcap journey across the globe in VEHICLE. Join Sam and Shane, two old theatre road dogs trapped in a small car on a regional tour of WA as they recap wild and hilarious tales of misadventure, success, failure and utter confusion from decades of touring indie theatre shows around the world. Can they learn from their past mistakes or is history destined to repeat itself as they attempt to save the disastrous tour currently unfolding around them?

Weeping Spoon are thrilled to be debuting our 2023 Fringe World hit in Adelaide featuring Fringe-favourites Shane Adamczak and Sam Longley. VEHICLE is a comedy about perseverance, patience, survival and truck stop Chiko Rolls. Sometimes when you hit the road...the road hits back!

Weeping Spoon Productions are an international multi-award winning independent theatre company based in Perth, Western Australia. Co-founded by a group of professionally trained actors, Weeping Spoon Productions has become one of the most prolific indie theatre companies in Perth. We proudly acknowledge that we live, work and play on Whadjuk boodja in the Noongar nation.
