Judge's Pick 2023 & 2024 Melbourne Fringe 

This year, Con Coutis has been sent to Heck Island to perform stand-up comedy. After a security scare, he is wrongfully imprisoned. With an hour on the clock, he must break out, clear his name and tell at least 28 jokes.

Escape from Heck Island takes comedy to new heights through a sophisticated use of sound cues effortlessly weaved throughout the show. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and surround sound, the show creates a sonic landscape that enhances the humor and storytelling in ways that defy convention. He won't tell you which one, but one of the sound cues is a coded message to the mole people living under the Montague Street Bridge.
