How can you express love when you can’t admit you’re lonely?

The Best Man Show

What People Are Saying

“a calculated, perfectly timed slide into insanity that convinces you this could really happen to anybody under the wrong pressures.”

— Elliott Lam, Wellyott.com

“The highlight of the show… is the Best Man solo dance… It is right up there with Ricky Gervaise’s jaw-dropping animalistic dance in The Office.”

— Dave Smith, TheatreReview.org.nz

“Overall, the experience is rich and tailored for every audience member. The show offers slick, safe, fun, bonkers, interactive joy. ”

— Tara McEntee, TheatreReview.org.nz

“He somehow managed to make us like him… mainly because the awful best-man speech is full of victimhood and somehow deeply engaging, and an amazing performance.”

— Duncan Sarkies, Culture 101 podcast

The Best Man Show is an interactive and darkly hilarious wedding reception where Mark Vigeant plays the groom’s brother Paul, who has been asked to give the toast at an untraditional polyamorous commitment ceremony.

It starts out fun and silly, with your typical masculine roasting and ribbing – and slowly devolves into a drunken existential crisis where Paul tries desperately to understand what it means to love, but can’t get over his own toxic masculinity to recognize how lonely he is.
