About
Sammy J's award-winning, mind-blowing tale returns with bonus content and fresh surprises!
30 years ago, Sammy J traded comics with his school gardener. 10 years ago, he wrote a show about it. How does an awkward nerd end up with a federal policeman searching his attic? Why does Sammy owe his marriage to the United Nations? And how did he insert himself into a Parliamentary maiden speech?
'Hero Complex' is the five-star, must-see show of Sammy J’s career - a real-life, hilarious comic book adventure that proves sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.
Directed by Chris McDonald

Great fun
by Tony on 7/4/25Athenaeum Theatre One - MelbourneRating: 5 out of 5This was simply a hoot. Sammy J delivered a clever 90 minutes of innocent and thoroughly enjoyable fun.
Mildly humorous at best!
by Gary on 7/4/25Athenaeum Theatre One - MelbourneRating: 2 out of 5I had a chuckle at a few items but in general the show struggled. Disappointing!
