Sometimes seemingly unimportant moments and choices can have surprising and unexpected consequences. Lawrence (from TV’s Offspring, Maximum Choppage, The Feed) delves headlong into fate, coincidence, unforeseen consequences and an absurd web of interconnected events that led to a humble sandwich changing the course of human history.

Lawrence is a multi-award-winning Melbourne comedian and screenwriter. He’s best known for his TV work including the AFI-nominated Lawrence Leung’s Choose Your Own Adventure and Lawrence Leung’s Unbelievable for the ABC and getting his butt kicked in the ABC2 action/comedy Maximum Choppage. He’s also appeared in Newton’s Law, Jane Campion’s Top of the Lake: China Girl, as well as playing that awkward doctor named Elvis on Ten’s Offspring.

Reviews from Melbourne & Perth comedy festivals, April/May 2015:

“FOUR STARS” The Age

“4.5 STARS” – The West Australian

“4.5 STARS  An utter joy to watch.” – Beat Magazine

“4 STARS. An all-round outstanding performer,

and his tales and one-liners are hilarious.

A fun and fast hour of comedy.” TheMusic

“One of the most effortlessly enjoyable shows of the festival.

There’s no escaping that fact.” – CHORTLE (UK)

“The Escapist is as much in the storytelling genre as it is stand-up. The laughs come just as often and the humour is just as sharp but Lawrence Leung’s one-night only performance felt like a playful odyssey rather than a series of punchlines strung together with paper-thin segues.”

– West Australian

“He is a superb and ingenuous raconteur.”

– Australian Stage

“The Escapist is a perfectly curated performance…

Leung’s self-awareness and modesty makes for a stand up performance

that is authentic and easily relatable, at the same time as retaining some edginess.

Leung uses the dying art of story telling to divulge his own life experiences

in a way that is both heartwarming and scintillating.”

– APHRAMAG.COM

We’re looking at other cities at the moment and hope to have some more dates to announce shortly.

LAWRENCE LEUNG’S PART-TIME DETECTIVE AGENCY

Lawrence wants to be like Sherlock.

All he needs is a case to solve, a loyal assistant and a nemesis.

Apply within.

Taking cues from the world’s greatest sleuth, Lawrence battles wits, exposes lies and uncovers hidden truths.

Can anyone become a great detective or is he just deceiving himself?

We are very excited to announce that Lawrence’s new live comedy show will be having a limited season in London in July 2012.

“LAWRENCE LEUNG: BEGINNING MIDDLE END”.

*   *   *   *

It’s a show about storytelling,

bizarre fan fiction,

accidental fist-fights,

Colin Firth and whales.

Everyone has a story to tell, but when it comes to his own life,

has Lawrence lost the plot?

A terrific show.  FOUR STARS “

HERALD SUN

“A feel-good hour of charismatic yarn-spinning. FOUR STARS”

– Steve Bennett, CHORTLE

“Beginning, Middle, End is Leung at his best…

A wonderfully written and cleverly structured show.

The beginning is good, the middle is great, and the ending is marvellous.”
