Following an acclaimed international tour, the multi-award-winning musical cabaret Little Squirt comes to Bondi Festival at Bondi Pavilion for three nights this July.
Written and performed by musical comedian Darby James, the heartfelt and hilarious one-man show explores sperm donation, queer parenthood and the unconventional pathways to starting a family.
When Darby responds to a Facebook advertisement seeking sperm donors, he finds himself navigating genetic questionnaires and confronting existential questions about parenthood, identity, and the future of the planet.
Blending sharp humour with emotional depth, Little Squirt invites audiences to consider what it means to create life in an uncertain world. Featuring 12 original songs, Little Squirt is written and performed by Darby James with direction and dramaturgy by Casey Gould.
Since its premiere, the production has won three Green Room Awards, including Best Cabaret, and received the Edinburgh Touring Award at Melbourne Fringe 2023. The award launched a successful international journey, with seasons at Edinburgh Fringe, London, Aberdeen and Dublin.
Praised by audiences and critics alike, Little Squirt offers a moving and deeply personal perspective on procreation, legacy and belonging.
Little Squirt is produced in partnership with Quiet RIOT, the boutique production company founded by producer Linda Catalano (Hot Brown Honey, BATSHIT, Dangerous Goods).
