Matt Hawke's "Beautiful Lies" is a one-man comedy cabaret exploring the deep philosophy and overt insanity of lies. A next generation perspective to biting satirical comedy, balancing edgy laugh-out-loud humour with raw vulnerable introspection, all through memorable original songs and a magnetic lead performer.
As a young, emerging, queer artist, Matt Hawke gives voice to a new generation of musical comedy. Drawing in audiences of all types as a younger (and gayer) successor to performers like Tim Minchin and Bo Burnham.
"His original material is all at once personal, relatable, hilarious and heartbreaking." ~ Michael Griffiths, Australian Cabaret icon.
Using the thematic vehicle of lies Matt Hawke delves into various modern day struggles; from finding out the truth about Santa, to battling with his own queer identity, to giving a microphone a blowjob.
Hawke uses his personal life stories to figure out how we manage to persevere in our dishonest dystopia.
