What if your whole life was built on not moving an inch?

Stranded on a WWII landmine, Francis Molloy built a life, family, and reality TV show without ever moving. Now, his 1950s studio set has landed in Perth for a darkly comic live taping. How to Stay Married Without Exploding! is a solo show about performativity, nostalgia, and what happens when the bubble that you’re living in bursts.

Part stand-up show, part live theatre, How to Stay Married Without Exploding! transports this year’s FRINGE WORLD audience into the live studio audience of Francis’ home (BYO sandbags). Sneak a glimpse into Francis Molloy’s grounded lifestyle, how he and his wife tiptoe around the more loaded parts of their relationship, and what things that make him tick, tick, tick...
