‘DON’T SHOOT! I’m a vegan’
A groundbreaking new comedy cabaret by Vegan Smythe
Should all vegans be shot?
How do you know when someone’s vegan?
And where does gluten fit in?
Join award-winning entertainer Vegan Smythe as he sinks his canine teeth into these questions and many more in a hilarious 60 minute cabaret that even cattle farmers find funny. Candid chat and original songs about fad diets, food labels, the vegan police, mock meat, Facebook groups and people who think their dogs are their children.

Who is the show for?
This show is for vegans, non-vegans and closet-vegans. Its a fun show with plenty of songs and comedy but no preachy stuff. I don’t go into facts and figures about how eating meat is bad for your health and the planet. I don’t tug at your heartstrings. I don’t point out the hypocrisy of loving your dog and eating your pig (or the other way around if you’re in China).
Is it rude?
I may use the “F” word a couple of times. More if I’m really fired-up. I don’t talk about sex or drugs. I do rock’n’roll although I’m not sure people take me seriously. I have a couple of piercings and one fake tattoo.
I hate vegans – will I have a good time?
Do you mean at my show or in general? Possibly “no” to both. Hate is bad.
Is there offensive material?
These days some people will always find something to be offended about. If you’re one of those people you won’t be disappointed. Also – trigger warning for hunters – one of the songs may make you uncomfortable.
Will this show turn me vegan?
Only if Cirque de Soleil turned you into a French-Canadian acrobat.
I’m vegan, can I bring my non-vegan friend along?
In a word, yes. Please. (See above “Who is the show for?”)
OK, I’m sold. How do I book?
Hold on a sec! My next season will be announced soon. Corona permitting..
Pictured above with an actually famous vegan, Patrik Baboumian, the world’s strongest man! I think he eats more than I do and probably exercises quite regularly. As seen on the worldwide smash documentary Gamechangers (that’s him, not me).
