'From the moment Lou learned to write, she has been making To-Do Lists. On scraps of paper, in journals, in the Notes app on her phone. Lou went back over all those lists and collected a mortifying 923 tasks left unfinished.

'In this wild, one-woman 60-minute musical combustion, Wall will attempt to complete every one of her 923 unfinished tasks on her To-Do Lists from 2002–2020.

'Lousical the Musical is a nuanced and electrifying foray into the world of procrastination and mental health… but in a hilarious, mini-pop-concert kinda way. Duh.'

'At eight days old Daniel’s secular Jewish parents chose to have him circumcised. Having not read the fine print in the Old Testament, this unknowingly triggered God’s ongoing contract with the Hebrews. In return for following his rules, God promised to look after the Israelites.

'At 29, Daniel is an atheist, single and living the life of a bohemian artist in Melbourne. And lo, God was not pleased! Appalled with Daniel’s lifestyle choices, God makes an example of him and appears on earth to smite him with stage four testicular cancer. Stage five is death.

'As Dan prepares for his upcoming treatment he is left in a spiritual vacuum. He is reaching for faith in something, but he’s certainly not going to find it in a deity who has already stolen one of his balls. Instead, Daniel finds salvation in an unlikely modern messiah, seven-time winner of the Tour de France and testicular cancer survivor Lance Armstrong.

'Now of course, Armstrong is a fallen angel and after Daniel’s full recovery, he wonders – how many times will he be cheated by a God?'
