Mamil

New Zealand Comedy

In an exclusive two-week season, Mark Hadlow launches the South Island tour of his one-man show MAMIL from Fortune Theatre. Mark plays Bryan Cook, a property developer who has accumulated a small fortune building leaky homes. 

He’s stressed out, self-medicating, self-loathing, and killing himself to increase his bank balance while decreasing his golf score. When his business and life fall apart thanks to the global financial crisis, he joins a men’s cycling group to relieve stress and get healthy. Through their conversations and comradeship, he realises his mistakes and begins to rediscover the man he once was, along with some other startling discoveries in various cracks and crevices.

A show that knows no geographical boundaries (it is a universal truth that everyone has an opinion of the MAMIL) this is a sharply comical look at one of the most polarising of species – the Middle Aged Man in Lycra.
