Thank you, we are glad that you think we are doing good. It is like love. Loving someone who also loves you is the closest one can come to becoming immortal. Klimt said that and he was a painter. Thank you so much to everyone at @sydneyfringe and to our physically and emotionally beautiful producer @pritchmark and to @isaac.barron who does our lights at the emerging artist share Haus. Good bless us everyone said tiny Tim.

What’s this? A remount of our inaugural, infamous debut show what rocketed us into fame and fortune and glory and wealth!? That’s right SOUP FRIENDS is back baby! 🥣🥣🥣
After easing @sydneyfringe into a false sense of security with Twenty Million Thousand Leagues Under The Sea, we’ll hit them over the head with 2 by 4 of pure theatre excellence, Soup Friends! A show about friendship as much as it is about soup!

Failure, clarification, apologising without meaning it, Soup Friends cracks open the walnut-shell head of the artist to show you the simpering, petty ego of walnut flesh within.

Nominated: Best Emerging artist, Best Experimental, Spirit of Fringe (Melbourne Fringe)

And so it came to pass one frosty morn that @pritchmark beheard three wailing whelps, belching and sniffling upon his doorstep, abandoned in a whicker basket.

While any other person would’ve immediately flushed this trio of discarded turds down the Terlet, or sent them to the knackers yard to be whittled into glue, mark Pritchard’s heart grew three sizes that day and he took the urchins in and became their theatre producer for their theatre company. Called pummel squad.

Merry Markmas one and all. We cannot adequately express our love and gratitude for your wisdom, humour and patience. We plied you with wine and now you are trapped forever in the prison of our hearts ❤️❤️
