Tackling the reality of fatherhood in a tracksuit

AUSTRALIAN comedian Daniel Muggleton is touring the country with a 35-date run of shows.

Known for his brightly coloured tracksuits, social commentary and crowd work, Muggleton often sells out festivals around the world. His new You May Be White, I May Be Crazy tour focuses on becoming a father for the first time.

Muggleton said unlike previous years, there’s a chance this show is about something.

“If I had to choose a word to describe what that is I’d say family, but remember the Fast and Furious franchise is also about family, so there’s an equal chance this show is about street racing or about me finally becoming a father,” he joked.

Exploring the challenges of parenthood and the responsibility of teaching his son how to be a man, the tour shines a spotlight on the new perspective the comedian has on life.

Another theme in his shows is his time living in the UK and how it changed his perception of Australia.

“Australians love to move overseas…for a bit,” he said.

“Very few of us move permanently because, well, we realise how good we have it back home.

“But living overseas is a great experience because that’s how you learn what’s Australian and what’s normal – which isn’t necessarily the same thing.”

Muggleton has received five-star reviews and played some of his biggest shows in recent years. His comedy specials have aired on Channel 7, Amazon Prime and ABC TV, and on his first New Zealand tour he performed to sell-out crowds in Auckland and Christchurch.

The comedian will perform at Murwillumbah’s Imperial Hotel on November 14.
