Comedian, actor and screenwriter Damian Callinan has performed his acclaimed show ‘Double Feature,’ about his parent’s lives in post-war Australia, all over the country since he first debuted it in 2022.
But on October 1, the Yarraville resident will bring it to his home for the first time, with a performance at Mantra Studios.
Since relocating from Preston last year, Callinan has quickly settled into life in the inner-west, where many of his comedy contemporaries also live.
Having never performed there before, Yarraville was the obvious choice for Callinan to begin his latest run performing Double Feature, his first since last year.
“Blowing the cobwebs off,” he said of the purpose of the Yarraville show, which will then be followed by dates through NSW, the ACT and Victoria until early November.
“There’s places in Australia I haven’t got to yet,” Callinan said in explaining why he was reprising the show rather than moving on to new material.
“This one’s close to the heart though, telling my mum and dads story, It feels special.”
