The show is a riotous roller coaster ride as Sunny brings to life the awkward, loveable and very vegan friendly Meaty Sue.

You can get a peek at Meaty Sue’s Big Farma absurdity and a have a pre-show giggle on Instagram.

The Butterly Club in Carson Place is an old favourite of mine as a performance venue. Intimate and quirky – they host some great shows and make very tasty cocktails. I can also recommend Little Ramen Bar west up Little Collins if you’d like a bite before or after the show.

Meaty Sue’s Big Farma runs till 21st April as part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival – grab a ticket from The Butterfly Club.
