| Description |
"In the Summer of 1994, Lawrence Leung became a teenage apprentice to a 62 year old professional card shark. Part expose, part confession, Lawrences' deceptively witty show is a con artist's 'show-and-tell' about classic street swindles and scams, dodgy father figures and betrayal." |

| Further Information |
Sucker was first told amongst the shelves of an intimate old library for Mudfest 1997. The show was expanded to become the cult hit of the 2001 Melbourne Fringe Festival where it received Best Solo Show Award. It was then selected for The Fringe@Frankston 2001 showcase and has been invited to the 2002 Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
