Spade Face Productions Brings New Show And Fan Favourites to Dunedin Fringe Festival
For Release Immediately
DUNEDIN, New Zealand - February 11th 2018 - Spade Face Productions is bringing three hilarious shows to Dunedin as part
of the 2018 Dunedin Fringe Festival. Toxic Mas is a very personal one man show about comedian Cam McLeod’s life so far,
with the overarching theme of toxic masculinity and how it has impacted him personally, as well as society on the whole.
It covers the death of his father from cancer when he was 17, his first love, and the diagnosis that changed his life.
Last year, loveable oddball Steve performed his critically acclaimed show This is Steve at the Dunedin Fringe Festival,
Go Media Comedy Carnival and Nelson Fringe Festival, to rave reviews. So this Dunedin Fringe Festival he brings his
brand new show, Steve Learns His ABC's.
“I am very excited to bring these shows to the Dunedin Fringe Festival, but especially to perform Toxic Mas and share my
story with more people. I find audiences connect with it for many different reasons, and I hope Dunedin will get as much
out of it as I do performing it.”
- Cam McLeod, comedian and Spade Face Productions Director
