'In the year 2011, John Birmingham is broke, on the run from the Australian Tax Office, and back on the share house circuit.
But in Fortitude Valley in the year 4006, JB's work has become a religion. And with the ability to travel through time, the last man on Earth and his wonderbabe bodyguard are coming back to find out exactly HOW to be a man.
Inspired by John Birmingham and Dirk Flinthart's guidebook, How To Be A Man is an outrageously fitting third installment in the trilogy that began with He Died With a Felafel in His Hand and The Tasmanian Babes Fiasco.' (Source: Brisbane Arts Theatre website.)
