ONE MAN’S CRISIS IS ANOTHER’S OASIS!
By age 40, most humans have had an average of 730 million thoughts. Some are good, some are dubious, and some are downright disastrous. On the 26th May, 2016, two things will happen – Comedian, Sam McCool,
launches the premiere of his new show ‘TURNING THOUGHTY’. On that very same day he turns 40 celebrating it at Australia’s most prestigious venue, SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE. This marks McCool’s long-awaited
return to the world-famous venue after a sell-out show in 2012 when he came to prominence on Channel 7’s AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT.

“Incredibly convincing… hilarious.” – Australian Stage
“Enthralling… keeping the whole audience on their toes.“ – Herald Sun
“Seriously good fun.” – Melbourne Comedy Festival

It’s a hilarious new show about age-ism and getting older, but rather than suffering a mid-life crisis, Sam has coined the phrase “mid-life oasis” to encapsulate his thoughts on turning 40. At 35, Sam quit his day job and
took on the challenge of becoming an international globe-trotting comedian, but 5 years on how does it feel to still be “living the dream”? And what next for a creative mind with half the world left to explore?
Sam’s show is all about the thoughts, decisions and choices we make to set us on the right path, to live out our dreams… and become a fuller version of ourselves. It all starts with our thoughts and as he suggests it’s
really never too late!
