Full Puss (ˈfu̇l pu̇s): Whole hog, no holding back, no surrender.

Full Puss is a maximalist alt-comedy cabaret born from the minds of Wellington comics Lily Catastrophe (BOTTOM SURGERY, Little Sister) and Keegan Thomas (Hey Miss!, Boy Band Brain). Slamming together dumb and sexy, glitter and grime, with just a hint of y2kcore nostalgia, Full Puss is a love letter to manic, physical, surreal comedy. Starring Lily Catastrophe, Keegan Thomas, featuring a bunch of their favourite comedians from across the motu in a series of sketch, improv, and burlesque acts that will let them go balls to the wall full puss.

Reviews for Keegan Thomas:
""Cleverly [balances] charisma and goofiness with a self-knowing savvy wink... a multi-talented entertainer."" - Nicholas Holm, The Post
""His stage presence is confident, [...] an excellent stand-up."" - James Redwood, Theatreview

Reviews for Lily Catastrophe:
""Her ability to blend humour, emotion, and social commentary makes for a powerful and unforgettable show."" - Ruth Corkill, Regional News
""There are moments where she leans into absurdity, moments where she leans into sincerity, and moments where she blends the two so seamlessly that the audience is laughing before they realise the emotional weight behind the joke."" - Josh McNally, Blackguard Media Reviews
