The Awkward Years: Melbourne Fringe

Remember high school parties? The Awkward Years wants you to remember the drinking, the pashing, the dancing, the flirting, the vomit and the most embarrassing thing you did as a teenager.

The Awkward Years. Melbourne Fringe Festival 2016
There’s no time for introductions; that’s why everyone gets name tags. There’s music playing and Ellen’s already crying. The pass the parcel game gets some of us to open up about ourselves. Meanwhile, Ellen flirts with her crush, who she imagines is called James, which brought up a specific bitter teenage memory for me. Success!

The Awkward Years is a short, sharp, hilarious visit to memories you’ve long forgotten.

At only twenty minutes long, you’ll want to revisit The Awkward Years again and again. That’s nostalgia for you.
