Sammy J - The Kangaroo Effect

Sammy J returns in a time-bending memoir that bounces through the life of a recovering attention seeker via song, stories and VHS tapes.

A butterfly flaps its wings and four decades later Sammy J accidentally turns up to a 40th birthday party dressed as a kangaroo. Who is to blame? What moment led to this? Welcome to the Kangaroo Effect.

Sammy J’s career has had more eras than Taylor Swift.

His most recent live tours include Good Hustle and Symphony in J Minor, which was recorded for a Paramount+ live special at the Malthouse Theatre, while his '1990s' song has had over 30 million views online.
