AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Comedy and television sensation Steven Oliver is black royalty (yes, he’s a big black queen, and still single if you must know). 

'From ABC’s hit series Black Comedy, Oliver is well known for being ‘faboriginal’. But what might come as a surprise is his thoughtful, original songs. Join Oliver on his own journey of self-discovery with candid stories about family, modern love and choosing to be a recluse after a taste of fame. With musical direction by Helpmann Award winner Michael Griffiths.'   (Production summary)
