Comedian's Guide To True Crime

Ever wondered what happens when murder meets stand-up? When history's most twisted tales get the comedy treatment they never saw coming?

Welcome to Shayne Hunter's world - where true crime isn't just entertainment, it's a full-contact sport with punchlines.

THREE KILLER STORIES:

Squizzy Taylor - The pint-sized gangster who ran 1920s Melbourne with gold teeth, a diamond tie pin, and enough enemies to fill a cemetery. He wrote poetry to newspapers while on the run, fixed races, sold cocaine, and died in a shootout so dramatic Hollywood would reject it as "too much." The kicker? Seven years after his death, people still blamed him for rigging football games.

"Pretty Dulcie" Markham - The Angel of Death. Not because she killed anyone, but because dating her was basically suicide. Five lovers: shot, stabbed, or otherwise departed. She bounced between cities changing names like outfits, leaving dead boyfriends like breadcrumbs. Black widow or world's worst girlfriend? You decide.

The Gatwick Hotel - St Kilda's "Hotel Hell" where checking out alive was optional. Murders in corridors, blood on walls, bodies mistaken for drunks. Run by twin sisters called saints by some, enablers by others. Your neighbor might be a murderer, but hey, at least the rent was cheap.

WHY SHAYNE?

After conquering addiction, ideology, and the art of crowd work, this Comedy Festival veteran has mastered something harder: making murder hilarious without making light of it. His True Crime Comedy Tours have already earned rave reviews across Australia.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

This isn't your typical true crime podcast regurgitation. This is live, dangerous comedy that turns Australia's darkest moments into unforgettable entertainment.

Adults only. Obviously.
