A Breakneck Comedy About Modern Malaise

The Bakery presents
‘Milky Bits’
By Leon Wadham, Chris Parker and Hayley Sproull

A Breakneck Comedy About Modern Malaise That’ll Horri-fy, Thrill And Delight.

Chris Parker (Funny Girls, Jono and Ben), Hayley Sproull (Miss Fletcher Sings the Blues, Jekyll & Hyde)
and Leon Wadham (Go Girls) join forces for an explosive exploration of the modern condi-tion at BATS
Theatre from the 28th June – 2nd July.

Combining sketch, theatre, party and nightmare, Milky Bits is a wild ride through a catalogue of excruciatingly human experiences. Our ferociously attractive heroes face unwelcome handshakes, hideous retail jobs, regrettable intercourse, mottephobia, two-day sleep binges, ominous beach metaphors, guided meditation and the Scientology Celebrity Centre as they try to make it in this doggy-dog world. It’s hideous, hysterical and it’s probably happened to you.

Breakneck, provocative, physical comedy, Milky Bits turns everyday anxieties into a hilarious, unpredictable and thrilling pageant of millennial terror.

With shows like Outsiders’ Guide (Best Newcomer Chapman Tripps 2013),
Tighty Whiteys, Miss Fletcher Sings the Blues (Best Newcomer NZ International
Comedy Festival 2012), No More Dancing in The Good Room (Best
Newcomer NZ International Comedy Festival 2015), and You Make Me Feel
Like a Natural Woman, The Bakery’s curiosity centers on social and cultural
relationship, using song, dance, sketch and madness to investigate the things
we dare not speak of. ‘I’m tempted to call it genius’ – Nik Smythe, Theatreview

The Bakery is a New Zealand based theatre company focused on creating sharp, physical, relevant comedy that pushes the boundary between fun and frantic. Parker, Sproull and Wadham are fired up, young artists with a passion for laughter.

Milky Bits plays at the Basement Theatre from the 14th – 18th June and at BATS Theatre from the 28th June – 2nd of July. Join us for an hour of physical, metaphysical and breakneck theatre that lays everything on the line.
