[Book a free ticket now! ](https://www.eventfinda.com.au/2026/cryer-chapter-one/melbourne/carlton?ref=nakedfella.com) I'm very excited about this. We're testing out the script of a brand new graphic novel, live on stage! Join a crew of incredible actors and comedians for chapter one of *Cryer!* ![Drawing of a large bearded man asking, "Whose be this chicken-fowl?"](https://cdn.synaps.media/nakedfella/content/images/2026/10/04_mccallum.jpg) ### The story The year is 1614, and London gets its news from a family of town criers: the Cryers! Each generation of Cryers is louder than the last, producing unearthly screams heard "From The Square To The Spittle-fields". Their star is John Cryer – "The Name For Newes One Knowes"! His son, Jonathan Cryer, is a foppish “hunk”: all show, no substance. ![Drawing of a handsome chubby man with a dazzling smile, saying "A good poultrie-heist is once a month, if you're lucky!"](https://cdn.synaps.media/nakedfella/content/images/2026/10/05_jonathan.jpg) Enter Scottish upstart Rupert Murdoch, disrupting their industry with a technology called "newes-papers"! When his papers begin attacking the Cryers directly -- "They are witches, in league with the Spanish, the Pope and the Devil!" -- John vanishes. Jonathan is left at the mercy of their audience, their sponsors and the cut-throat court of King James. Can even the two loudest voices in England be heard through the grotesque noise generated by Rupert Murdoch? *Cryer!* is written by award-winning comics guy David Blumenstein and drawn by animation phenom Sayeef Mahmud! *Cryer! Chapter One!* stars Jack Braddy, Christopher Kirby, Katrina Mathers, Geoff Paine, Ingrid Elkner and Ezra Bix! Expect supernatural historical comedy, swearing and boobs (described only).
