After getting stranded in regional Victoria without medication for the
first time in 12 years, Scout Boxall has to pull out all the
psychological stops to survive one of the worst nights of their life. God’s
Favourite is an exquisite, darkly funny retelling of a mental
marathon through manic withdrawal. In the process, Scout imagines life
in the middle ages, trawls the strange crevices of the Internet, makes
peace with their own mediocrity and (briefly) surrenders to God. It’s
part storytelling, part stand-up, all raw and unflinchingly real.
As
seen on The Weekly with Charlie Pickering, Melbourne
International Comedy Festival Gala and ABC's Austin, Scout
is one of the most exciting new talents in Australian comedy. Their work
swings between pithy observational stand-up and manic, chaotic
powerpoint comedy with a sharp political awareness.
