Alan McElroy – I am Chaos
Charles Dickens Tavern
Downstairs, Block Arcade 290 Collins St VIC
Alan McElroy is back with the third and most explosive chapter of his accidental trilogy of mayhem. After the manic energy of Mad, Innit?! and the Catholic-trauma confessions of Ah, Jaysus, Alan now turns the spotlight onto the one constant in his life: he is the problem. In I Am Chaos, he dives into the ridiculous disasters he creates simply by existing – the misunderstandings, the good intentions that backfire spectacularly and the moments where friends, family and total strangers wonder how one man can cause so much trouble without ever meaning to.
From burning situations (literal or otherwise) to social calamities and everyday catastrophes, Alan unpacks the comedy of being the human equivalent of a loose shopping trolley on a hill.
Hilarious, self-aware and wildly relatable, I Am Chaos is Alan at his most unfiltered.
