"...this show is too clever and too funny to stick to the rules." - Theatreview

8 books are welcomed into the literati ThunderDome to fight to the death for our entertainment, but first we need to discuss them like the civilised consumers of culture that we are.

"...a rip roaring show of immense proportions!" - Theatreview

As seen at the NZ International Comedy Festival, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe, Auckland Writers Festival, and World Buskers Festival, El Jaguar is back hosting the most hilarious and unusual book club you've ever joined.

"I laughed so much. I laughed so hard at one point I nearly threw up." - Libel Music
