XAVIER TOBY: ‘MINING’ MY OWN BUSINESS

xaviertoby.jpg

What’s life really like as a FIFO (Fly In Fly Out) worker? Writer and comedian Xavier Toby presents a stand up comedy show adapted from his debut non-fiction book, Mining My Own Business, available now through UWA Publishing. It’s a place where everything’s either highly explosive, huge machinery, or high vis: right down to the socks, jocks and skid marks. Where expletives are punctuation, a $50 note is loose change, and the safety regulations are tighter than NASA, but there are still plenty of people who break the rules. Dinner is steak, steak, or BBQ steak with salad, there are more utes than trees, and enough dust to keep your nostrils filled from noon till night. It’s Australia’s Wild West.
