From ABC Kids composer to late-night Fringe burnout, this is what happens when a wholesome music teacher finally breaks.
After 23 years of classroom clichés, clueless parents, and coffee-fuelled patience, Woody is cracking open a bottle and telling it how it is. With foul-mouthed puppet students, dangerously unhinged ukulele solos, and a frank report on the staffroom underworld, this late-arvo meltdown is a love letter to every teacher who's ever dreamed of going rogue.
Expect mischievous puppets and brutally honest comedy from a burnt-out teacher on the edge - the kind of storytelling that makes a 4pm staff meeting almost tolerable.
Edinburgh Fringe | 1-24 August | 4pm (50 mins Duration) | Bothie, Patter House - 3 chambers Street, EH1 EHT
‘This show is every exhausted teacher’s fantasy’
- Show Creator, Woody Clark
Meet the Maker:
Woody Clark is a music teacher, comedian, and songwriter who’s spent decades performing for kids and families across Australia. With songs on ABC Kids, years teaching in remote schools, and a cult following for his ukulele antics, Mr. Woody’s Last Lesson is his long-awaited descent into adult comedy. Equal parts cathartic and chaotic, the show is resonating with educators, parents, and anyone who barely survived high school.
