About this event
With the power of a Bluetooth controller, the audience takes a leading role in this Best In Comedy nominated one-of-a-kind choose-your-own-adventure.

BEST IN COMEDY 2023 SYDNEY FRINGE FINALIST

In 198X, Karate Man defeated his evil nemesis Ross Roundkick and restored peace to Karatetown. Now the year is 20XX and he must face his most challenging adventure yet – ordinary life.

Sit back and pass the video game controller around with your fellow audience members as you command the titular Karate Man and face a variety of challenges, meet crazy characters and make show-altering choices in this one-of-a-kind interactive comedy experience.

Karate Man is the latest comedic project by Bruno Dubosarsky and Daniel Scarratt of sketch group BEAK, who have entertained audiences around the world with their strikingly absurdist humour. They are joined by a cast of Sydney’s favourite alt comedians (Tim Dunk, Steph Ryan, Maddie Atkins, Juliet Rae Timmerman) to deliver a show that will be loved by gamers and comedy fans alike.

Following an incredible comedy festival tour through Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne , Karate Man returns to the Sydney Fringe, where their newest batch of players await (that’s you!). Come along for a unique show that’s different every time. It will make you laugh, it will warm your heart... it will be an exhausting and sweaty ordeal for the guy on stage.

Reviews

"This is a brilliantly constructed comedy that will have you eagerly waiting for your turn to control Karate Man. There's a considerable sense of community that is formed in the space without anyone realising it's happening" My Melbourne Arts (VIC)

"An anarchically funny choose-your-own-adventure in which every audience member gets a turn. The level of audience interaction embedded in the performance is a triumph" Toasting Aussie Theatre (NSW)

"Karate Man is an absolute blast. The energy in the room is a buzz and the actors just feed off of it. It is side-splittingly hilarious and such a cool and unique concept that can be adapted in so many ways." Lilithia Reviews (SA)
