We are two senior men with immature hearts looking back over why we turned out the way we did.
Two men with a fate that only their mothers could love.

Steve “The Sandman” Abbott and Paul “Flacco” Livingston exhume the scattered remains of
their own characters in Forevelyn : a touching tribute to the men behind the myth, and the
two women behind the men. It will only take 75 minutes to compare, contrast and leave
none the wiser.

Combining stand-up comedy and sit-down musings, these two legends of Australian comedy
share stories, readings and revelations regarding their fictional creations and the never
before revealed telling contribution of their deceased mothers, both named Evelyn: their
encouragements, their discouragements and the disparities between their boys.

Their beloved alter egos, The Sandman and Flacco, have their own views on these matters of
the heart and are on hand to offer their advice to their aging creators. Both of their egos,
altered or otherwise, are survived by the skin of their teeth, elevated toilet seats and the
age pension.

Apart from exhuming their alter egos of the 80’s and 90’s, Paul and Steve will startle with
their sublimely adequate musical talents with original songs trumpeting their slow demise
into irrelevance and beyond, all in the space of seventy-five odd minutes.

“These two are comedy legends for a reason. Their art stands the test of time and remains
just as brilliantly dry and absurd as it always was.”

“Surprisingly musical and every bit better for it.”

“The show contains a sweetly heartfelt core.”

“Lots of laughs, nostalgia, and a couple of sad parts.”
