Lou Wall’s Breaking the Fifth Wall is a comedic solo performance that explores the tangled intersection of internet culture, personal narrative, and performance. Centered on themes of lying, mental breakdowns, and digital life, the show unfolds as a chaotic yet tightly structured blend of stand-up, music, and interactive media.

Wall, known for their viral comedic monologues and acclaimed performances across Australia, serves as both writer and performer. The production is directed by Zoë Coombs Marr, a celebrated comedian and theatre-maker whose past works include the award-winning Bossy Bottom and Trigger Warning.

The show is presented by SoHo Playhouse and produced by Token Events following successful runs at the Sydney Comedy Festival (where it won Best of the Festival in 2024) and a nomination at the 2025 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
