The year is 2030. Humanity is all but wiped out and there is only one man who can save us.
For too long, we thought that things like 'gentle parenting', 'love languages' and 'paper straws’ were a good idea... until self-diagnosing whingers and 37 types of milk destroyed civilisation...
Then, like a glorious moustachioed phoenix, a hard bastard arose from the ashes to restart humankind.

Daniel Muggleton is an Australian comedian in a tracksuit.
His live shows frequently sell-out at comedy festivals around the world, have earned him numerous five-star reviews and a couple of industry awards. Daniel’s comedy specials ‘White & Wrong’ and ‘Let’s Never Hang Out’ have aired on Channel 7, Amazon Prime & The ABC. He's also been hand-picked to support Steve Hofstetter, Russell Kane & Adam Rowe on tour, and was invited to perform at Just For Laughs in 2023. Through a combination of red hot word-of-mouth and viral stand-up clips, Daniel has become one of the most in-demand live acts in Australia.
Daniel is also one of the hosts of Flog Cabin which is a comedy podcast you should start listening to if you don’t already.
A quick note from Daniel:
“Hello, I’m Daniel Muggleton, I’m the guy. I just wanted to let you know that unlike previous years there’s a chance this show is about something. If I had to choose a word to describe what that is I’d say ‘family’ but remember, the Fast & Furious franchise is also about family so there’s an equal chance this show is about street racing or about me finally becoming a father. If not, I promise it’ll be the usual fresh hour of race, politics and dicks that you’ve grown accustomed to. Cheers.”
