You may have heard of the phenomenally popular stage show, ‘MAMIL – Middle Aged Man in Lycra’. After playing to over 70,000 people across the country, now comes its laugh-out-loud sequel: ‘GOMIL – Grumpy Old Man in Lycra’. This one-man show stars Kiwi acting royalty Mark Hadlow of ’King Kong’ and ‘The Hobbit’ fame. It’s sure to bring a fresh wave of laughter, Lycra, and life’s absurdities.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a reluctant spouse, or just someone who enjoys watching others sweat the small (and stretchy) stuff, GOMIL is a must-see. This show dives deep into the world of ageing men, fragile egos, friendship, and family. Watch Mark as he explores the undeniable need to keep moving, no matter how creaky your knees may be.
‘Grumpy Old Man in Lycra’ is a celebration of growing older (and slightly wider) with humour, heart, and a healthy dose of spandex.
