Online sensation Emerson Brophy puts the phone down to present his debut live solo show, ‘Saccharine’. Equal parts comedy show, pop concert and TED Talk, Saccharine is a cathartic spiral into some of the biggest frustrations of the modern world. Armed with a ukulele, a piano and a stack of full length original songs, Emerson attempts to understand some of society’s most puzzling personalities, and explore its bitter realities, all while keeping your toes tapping along to his signature sickly-sweet musical wit. After successful seasons at Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Melbourne Fringe Festival 2024, Emerson is jazzed to bring his debut show to his hometown for the very first time at Fringe World Perth 2025.
