George Glass is an Adelaide-based comedy that performs a mix of music and theatre in theatres and at arts and comedy festivals around Australia. The members met at both school and university and presented their first production at the 2012 Adelaide Fringe Festival. The ensemble, which changes according to production requirements and/or availabilty has comprised Alister McMichael, Daniel Murnane, Henry Koehne, Nic Conway and Pud Hamilton. The troupe also works in collaboration with other actors and musicians as required. Other productions staged by George Glass have included Advertising Death (2014) and Money Shot (2015).
According to the troupe, the name George Glass is taken from a Brady Bunch episode 'The Not-So-Ugly Duckling' (1970) which sees Jan Brady "invent" a boyfriend named George Glass after her first crush is unrequited (ctd. Lisa Harper Campbell interview). 'In most of our skits and sketches, notes Nicholas Conway, 'we have a George Glass character; he changes job, gender and species from sketch to sketch. So the idea is that no one really knows who George Glass is or even what he is. George Glass is our collective imaginary boyfriend and he can be whatever we want him to be' (ctd. Bob Goudie).
The ensemble's productions are produced by George Glass Productions, established by Murnane, McMichael and Conway as a specifically eccentric musical comedy theatre company.
