See an amazingly fun show

Money, Murder, Clowns, and Corruption



You haven’t seen Melbourne properly until you’ve experienced the show that gives you everything.



Question: What kind of show are you looking for?

Answer: Something different. Something where I’m not just sitting around wondering when the show will end.



Question: What do you like about going to the cinemas?

Answer: I get food and drink while I’m being entertained.



Question: What would make a show better than just being there and watching?

Answer: Being involved in the show. Working out clues and puzzles to move further into the game.



Question: No, what would make this show even better???

Answer: If everyone was dressed up in the show, if there was a mystery to solve, if I got a drink during the show, if there was cake, if there was a mute clown, a weird reference to my childhood, and definitely a guy in a bow tie, oh and give me a finale that I will remember forever. And I want someone to serve us drinks, too.



And so it will be done.

Join us for “THE BAD MONEY”, it’s fun on a different playing field.

Find the clown and the money

Your mission is to find the clown’s hideout and recover the stolen money.
This is a show run by TheatreStreet Melbourne. The small cost of $60 covers the actors, a little snack, and a beverage.
Runs for just over 2 hours.
This is a bonding adventure. You'll get to know your small group very well after this. Great for tourists if you want to get to know Melbourne and have a drink afterwards with the people you've been walking and puzzling with for 2 hours.
Would be a good Christmas Party too. Or a Team Building thing.
The About Us:
"We run interactive theatre shows around Melbourne CBD and in cafes and bars.
This is a show that takes you on a journey where you follow clues and solve puzzles while seeing a few of the somewhat unknown streets around Melbourne City.
We are a very new company using different ideas and concepts from many other kinds of shows, games, treasure hunts, races, and cosplay events around the world.
When you join the show you will be engulfed into an experience where you are Melbourne's attraction and you are part of the game that gets you to the completion and the grand finale of the show."

Still no acceptance letter from a Literary Agent

It's been a long road writing novels, editing, then trying to get the attention of literary agents. It does make me wonder if my work just isn't good enough.

People have read my work. Some like it, some don't. But that's the way writing works, it's a piece of art that some will admire, and some will say is rubbish.

There's lots of authors out there. A few I like, many I do not. I bet you feel the same way about the books you've read?

Looks like I better follow up on those agents and see if I can't get them to get back to me with at least a yes or no.

Mat wrote a show - TheatreStreet

If you're free Saturday and enjoy seeing live shows that have something incredibly new in mind, you'll want to come along to TheatreStreet.

Click on the link above to find out more!

If you want a 10% discount (who wouldn't!), then type in dayout when you buy your ticket.

What happens on TheatreStreet. You'll turn up at an undisclosed place in the centre of Melbourne city - undisclosed until the day before when you'll get an email with details - and the show will begin shortly afterwards.

You'll laugh, you'll explore Melbourne, and you'll discover the secret that is TheatreStreet.

See you there!

I've written a show for Melbourne

"Be entertained. Laugh. Walk Melbourne’s amazing streets and see so much stuff while sorting through the clues set out for you so you can discover the secret behind the mystery."

So, I wrote something that is very different from my usual novels and short stories, and also very different for theatre and tourism in Australia.

If you're thinking of coming to Melbourne, or already live in Melbourne, come and be entertained while you see some of Melbourne's streets, shops, and bars, you may not have experienced before.
