Recently toured at Sydney Fringe, Adelaide Fringe & Newcastle Fringe, (as well as a sold out show in Bellingen in April) Upside Down Fantasyland is coming to the Mid North Coast with a limited run of intimate shows.
Upside Down Fantasyland is a raw and poetic exploration of Troy Rogers journey from the shadows of his past to the light of his future. Through heartfelt poetry, powerful songs, and evocative prose, Troy vulnerably takes the stage to share his experiences of growing up in out-of-home care, shaped by the trauma of drug-related struggles and a life with his grandmother due to his parents' substance abuse.
In this deeply personal performance, Troy delves into the complexities of his past with honesty and courage while balancing the heavy material with humour and love.
Upside Down Fantasyland offers an unflinching look at resilience, healing, and the bittersweet nature of growing up in a world turned upside down.

What critics had to say:
I saw Upside Down Fantasyland (Troy Rogers) last night, it's awesome! An emotional rollercoaster of a journey, a seamless mix of prose, poetry and songs. Five stars from me, go see it!
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Derek Tickner, Comedian
Upside Down Fantasyland is a Brave and riveting one man show which used clever, insightful poetry, song and theatre to provoke thought on many levels. Troy, through a repairing, compassionate heart and authentic voice tells his story of childhood trauma, resilience and hope which left me feeling stronger and energised.
- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Andrew Cooper, Lyricist
Absolutely just fabulous, it was moving and it was sad and it was funny and it was wonderful.
- Carolyn Swindell, Comedian
Troy touched our soul....., he wonderfully caressed a range of feelings with his integrity, courage and delivery. He was both powerful and gentle through his stories, poetry and music. Go well Troy.
- Timothy O.
