His performances are a dark, beautiful, baffling and wickedly funny treasure trove of impossible mysteries, visual alchemy, outrageous lies and brutal honesty.

Sam Perry Live
Sam Perry is a one-man orchestra who uses only his voice, a loop station, an effect pedal and microphone to create layers of haunting vocal harmonies, heavy bass-lines and break-beat beat boxed rhythms live on the spot. In this brand new show, Sam explains the art of vocal looping through interpretations of classic tunes and his own original work. In 2013, Sam was scouted by the ‘360 All-stars’ and asked to join an all star cast of circus performers and world record holders. During the five years Sam has been touring with the All-stars he has played in some of the biggest theatres in the world. Some tour highlights include a month sold out season on Broadway in New York, two highly successful seasons at Edinburgh Fringe Festival as well as sold out Australian tours.
