SOUND & FURY'S "DOC FAUSTUS"
Three-time Adelaide Fringe ‘People’s Choice’ winners Sound & Fury™ (a Los Angeles comic trio) present their comic parody mash-up of ‘Doctor Faustus,’ and every Western film ever made. “Consistently one of the wittiest acts at the Fringe! Their genius is to combine broad bawdy humour with cleverness and insight!” – dB Magazine.


SMART CASUAL: BROTHERS WITH ARMS
Smart Casual are arguably Australia's smartest, most casual musical comedy brothers. Armed with only beard and guitar, they will sing and fight there way through an hour of their best material. That’s right Perth, no rubbish, all gold. Stars of the Melbourne Comedy Festival and their hit single ‘The Hawk’.


MARCEL LUCONT: ENCORE
Award-winning hit show of Edinburgh Fringe and Melbourne Comedy Festival. France's premier misanthrope and lover delivers wry observations, bawdy chansons and a poem about tits. "Sharp wit and wordplay. A brilliantly rendered creation." – The Age, Melbourne.


THE YEAR OF MAGICAL WANKING
Neil Watkins has wanked more than is healthy, allegedly. One of Ireland’s most exciting artists and incendiary performers, Neil is a force of nature, a maverick, a 33- year old homosexual with a Jesus complex. Nominated for Best Performer and Best New Play, Dublin Fringe 2011. “Astonishingly brave” – The Irish Times.



TOM BINNS AS IAN D. MONTFORT: SPIRIT COMEDIUM

Montfort is a spookily skilful, wonderfully observed, and hysterically funny spirit medium who contacts the dead with inexplicable psychic revelations leaving the audience gasping with incredulity and laughter. Best Comedian Nominee Adelaide Fringe 2010 and 2011. “The Underground Hit of the Melbourne Comedy Festival” – The Age.



FRANCESCA MARTINEZ: WHAT THE **** IS NORMAL?! RELOADED

With accompaniment from the Ant Farm Orchestra, and trolley assistant Thingamebob (Geraldine Hickey), Ethel sings and charms her way through a jam packed variety hour featuring special guests each night. Book now. Avoid gout.



FUTURE WORLD
2011 Golden Gibbo Award Nominee!
In the bright utopian future, a job surplus means workers are outsourced from the past. This is their story.
“...delightfully silly one-man sci-fi potboiler ...an impressive piece of comedy showmanship” – Chortle.


IMPROVISION
The kitsch of Eurovision meets improv comedy!
Each night, two new hopeful contestants sing their way to Improvision glory, with big supporting casts and a glittering live band. A brand new, unscripted show brought to you by the people behind cult hits the big HOO-HAA!, Fuppet and Free Love Impro.
