Relive the funniest and most absurd highlights from the past 10 years as Tim and Guy revisit their journey through bad cinema as they question their life choices.
TimProvise, known for his quick wit and relatable humour, will host a show that's not just an interview, it's being a fly on the wall at a garage 21st birthday party. Joining him on stage will be a lineup of special guests, each ready to share their stories in an unfiltered and genuine manner.
Tim's infectious energy and local insights promise to create an unforgettable experience that resonates with audiences of all backgrounds and will involve interactive segments that will include questions from the audience.
