In a very compact venue, usually a karaoke room, Ty Gray sets out his stall and delivers a great performance in his one man show, “50 Shades of Ty Gray”. This young Aussie is no shrinking violet, his material is very funny indeed, he’s a natural storyteller and an incredibly likeable guy.  He has great interaction with the crowd and his tales from across the world keep us interested in hearing more.

He’s a bit of a party animal, picking up teaching jobs to fund his social life and bad habits.  Now he’s turned to comedy, he’s got a sack load of material to share.  His stories are well crafted, and very well thought through, and the smallish crowd are having a great time with him.

His experiences on those pesky dating apps throw up many a situation for him to manoeuvre.  He may have once been a small-town boy, but he has the confidence of a much more seasoned comedian. Ty has great affinity with his audience, and there’s a natural charm about him, evidenced by how he recounts his stories and experiences.

Ty Gray is one to watch, he’s got a very promising career in comedy ahead of him but this Aussie needs a bigger space to perform next time around.
