Eli Matthewson - Heaven's Devil

'Punchlines that whip back around like a tossed ponytail.' -Theatreview (NZ) 

$26 - $32 (plus service fees)
60 minutes
20-24 May 2025
He's performed for over a decade and won awards around the country but last year someone asked Eli if he was gay in real life or if he just does it for the jokes. A brand new hour of comedy about if lying can be good, actually. As seen on Celebrity Treasure Island, Dancing With The Stars, 7 Days and heard on The Male Gayz Podcast.
