At 56, Kelly is your quintessential middle-class Aussie: broke and facing the stark reality that ‘retiring comfortably’ is a polite euphemism for taking the weekend off to die. And with AI threatening to take her job, it’s time to ask the question: Why is her youngest son shagging his way across Europe for free in a world that has OnlyFans?
Prepare to laugh, cringe, and celebrate parenting with grit, wit, and just a touch of revenge.Fresh off her award-winning streak (Best Comedy at Newcastle Fringe 2023 and nods at Sydney and Adelaide), Kelly Mac storms into Newcastle armed with razor-sharp insight and zero apologies.
Whether it’s surviving the cost-of-living crisis or 34 years of marriage (to the same bloke, no less), Kelly tackles it all with big laughs and brutal honesty – all while staying sober at a time when wine’s the only thing that’s half-price.A son who makes Casanova look like Peter Dutton and one no-BS Aussie comedian with more stories than a QAnon book club – 'Pimp My Son!' is an unfiltered, gut-busting hour of comedy about family, finances, and hustling your way through a world gone mad.
