Performer Bio

Max Paton

Max Paton

Max is a Melbourne-based director, performer, writer and theatre maker, with a double major in Theatre and Philosophy from Monash University.

Creative credits include: Kevin Peterson’s Stand-Up Show! (writer/director, The Butterfly Club), The Late Night Late Show: Live! (director/co-writer, MUST), SketchShow.exe (creator/performer, MUST), and Company (directorial secondment, Watch This). His performance credits include: Welcome to Nowhere (Monash, Malthouse), Q (LaMama), and Noises Off (MUST). Max has also written and directed multiple short films, including Crossing, and Six Feet Under Par for his youtube channel, Pitters.

Max has been improvising with TIC for two years, and contrary to the business-like nature of this bio, loves getting loose and playing absolute nonsense scenes and characters.
