“Heart-warming, engaging and a damn good story” (Upside, Adelaide – 4 Stars)
Eat, Pray, Walk is a critically acclaimed show about an Aussie vagabond’s gruelling 1,000+km journey across France and Spain, the Camino de Santiago, on his own two feet. Surviving 40 days of blisters, snorers and dodgy Wi-Fi in search of life’s answers and free wine!
Multiple award-winning comedian and storyteller Marcus Ryan faced injuries, bedbugs, getting lost in scorching deserts and a political revolution. With only a broken backpack, borrowed shoes and a sense of adventure, this is an epic true tale you’ll want to hear, but be glad you didn’t live!
This is a show about a personal pilgrimage, one that explores some of the bigger questions we all face in our journey through life. It is motivating, inspiring – and might just make you pull on your hiking boots… or not!
Although it touches on topics of loss and grief, the show contains no curse words and is suitable for families.

The Camino de Santiago is a Catholic pilgrimage, but that’s not why Marcus walked it. While staying respectful of the spiritual history of the walk and it’s pilgrims, this show is a story of personal experiences and does not promote or denigrate any religious beliefs. Marcus is a UNESCO recognised Dual Pilgrim and has walked many journeys while travelling to over 70 countries, including Kumano Kodo Hadrian’s Wall, Machu Picchu, and recently scaled Kilimanjaro in July 2025.
