Magnus Steele - Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Infamous private eye Magnus Steele (Austin Harrison) investigates the crime of the century through interrogations, jazz and beat poetry. But here’s the catch – all the victims, suspects and witnesses are played by you! Come prepared for hilarity, bad accents and to be a part of the show!

Magnus Steele has been delighting audiences around Aotearoa/New Zealand since 2020 to critical acclaim. Nominated for "Most Promising Emerging Artist at NZ Fringe in 2020 and The Side-Splitter Comedy Award at the inaugural Whangarei Fringe Fest, this marks the Australian debut of a Kiwi cult classic.

'The show is reminiscent of Brooklyn Nine Nine, if they let me join in from my sofa. In other words it’s witty, unpredictable and wonderfully endearing and the jokes are pretty cool. Cool, cool, cool.' Art Murmurs (NZ)

'Appropriately hatted.' Theatreview (NZ)

'A masterclass in crowd work.' Art Murmurs (NZ)
