What a Man’s Gotta Do by Andrew Horabin
“Crackerjack’s” - North Fremantle Bowling Club
Saturday 28 October 2006 - 8.00pm
What a Man’s Gotta Do explores the secret men’s business of work, marriage, mateship, sex, intimacy, fatherhood, fighting, booze, homophobia and believe it or not - feelings.
The surprise hit from the Melbourne Comedy Festival and a statewide tour that had audiences laughing, crying and thinking - the hilarious award winning singer/songwriter Andrew Horabin performs his one man musical at 8.00pm on 28 October 2006 at “Crackerjack’s” - the North Fremantle Bowling Club, 40 Stirling Highway (off Thompson Road) North Fremantle.
Discounted tickets ($15.00) are available from Promaco Conventions on 08 9332 2900 or call the North Fremantle Bowling Club on 08 9335 1509.

• Fantastic show…all Aussie males should see. Audience member, Albany.

• Andrew, I’d like to take you home … my husband can learn so much. Great show, thanks. Audience member, Norseman.

• Mate! Great humour, wonderful night. Puts a whole new slant on bringing up boys. Audience member, Southern Cross.

Andrew Horabin is a professional speaker, comedian and award-winning singer/songwriter. Andrew became involved in men’s work at the age of 21 after reading “King Warrior Magician Lover” (Robert Moore/Douglas Gillett) and then the classic “Iron John” (Robert Bly). He attended men’s retreats and joined a men’s group. Feeling that the lights had suddenly gone on in so many areas of his life, Andrew became very passionate about the importance of genuine male connection, eldership and authentic rites of passage.

Consumer Advice: What a Man’s Gotta Do contains extreme language and adult themes.
