Be My BFFFFFFF - Comedy Festival Encore | John Glover

Looking for a new bestie? This isn’t just a comedy show — it’s a heartfelt, hilariously awkward quest for connection in the modern world. John Glover, two-time RAW Comedy State Finalist, brings his sharp, honest, and oddly relatable brand of storytelling to the stage.

From accidental friendships forged during seizures to camping tent confessions and wedding day disasters, John navigates the beautiful, messy terrain of adult bonding. Expect confessional storytelling meets absurdist energy — all wrapped in a warm, queer-embraced hug.

As praised by Praise Dioynisus: “A very moving, funny and well-woven show.” And Theatre Thoughts calls it: “Sharp comedic style.” The Age adds: “Razor sharp one-liners are aplenty and timing is spot on. This is a budding comic to watch.”

This encore performance is part of the Sydney Comedy Festival 2026, offering fresh perspectives on friendship, vulnerability, and the universal desire to belong. You’ll laugh. You might cry. You’ll definitely leave thinking differently about who your next BFFL could be.

Bring a friend — or come solo and leave with one.

John Glover has toured Australia with his solo hits John Glover Must Die and Microsoft Orifice. He’s shared stages with Osher Günsberg on NTNNNNN and performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in Breaking The Musical.
