Darkly intense and raucously funny

The heroes that see us through hangovers, lockdowns, and empty fridges: the essential worker… The Courier. 

Courier by Piers MacKenzie is a one-man show that dives into a delivery cyclist’s chaotic journey to deliver the meal of his life. This darkly comedic ride pulls you deep into a fractured mind, where reality and imagination collide as the brakes come off. Strap on your helmets and grip those handlebars tight—this trip is full of sharp twists, sudden turns, and plenty of bumps along the way. 

“A fantastic story based on his experiences as a Deliveroo cyclist. It does a great job of taking us through the world of this character, all while carrying an intense, darker undertone.” – Magazine 6000 

“Raucously funny…This well-rounded piece leaves you wanting to see more of the person beyond the icon tracking your order.” – Perth Theatre Reviews
