In 2020 we all experienced some sort of cabin fever. But for Drew Fairley - a cabaret performer working on a cruise ship - cabin fever became a scary reality when he got caught up in the chaos of the Covid19 outbreak. The cruise ship, Drew was working on, was ejected out of Australian waters leaving Drew and 2 other Australians in a diplomatic limbo. Literally stranded on the high seas. To keep boredom and fear at bay, Drew turned to his craft and using props found in his cabin he made hilarious and sometimes poignant video skits for Instagram.
