Self-proclaimed guru, Merv, is bringing his 'game-changing' life philosophy to the world with one big promise: The Sun! Yes, Mervin is promising the sun itself and he’s almost certain he can deliver it - one can at a time!

This parody of modern gurus (written and performed by Jonny Pasvolsky) is a solo comedy about what it takes to re-invent yourself, in the face of failure and the self proclaimed 'experts' lining up to take your money for nothing.

Recommended 15+ Some adult themes and coarse language.
