5 reasons to see Dave Bloustien’s Grand Guignol 
1. Rip It Up Magazine said “murder will never make you laugh so hard”. And they’re from Adelaide, so they should know.
2. It’s equal parts comedy and horror. So if it’s hilarious, it’s comedy. And if it’s horrible, it’s on purpose.
3. It has creeptastic puppets designed and built by Henson-trained comedian Lana Schwarcz and original music written and performed by FourPlay String Quartet’s Peter Hollo (with Dave) (you can see / hear some of it here:Â http://www.youtube.com/watch?
4. It has something for everyone: standup, storytelling, extreme silliness, a castrated pharoah, party political cult conspiracies, fractured fairy tales, barista confessions, beat poetry and a fez.
5. In 10 years of comedy, it’s the best thing Dave Bloustien (Good News Week, Glass house, Randling) has written. And he’s written a LOT.
6. It’s ‘arts’ so you can enjoy it, even if you are innumerate.

FIVE REASONS TO SEE Laura Davis Look Out, It’s a Trap! 
1: This is the worst joke Laura has ever written. Q: “What’s a ghosts favourite kind of beer? A: Ghosts don’t like beer. They prefer spirits. See? Even that’s pretty good.
2: If you would like to see what it would be like if Lisa Simpson did Stand-Up Comedy.
3: If you’d like to see something that you’ll never have expected unless you’re very good at expecting things.
4: The show is free. As in the adjective, not the adverb. “You walk out feeling warm, contented, practically hugged…Go and see Laura Davis if you like laughing and feeling nice.” –Watchoutfor.com
5:Laura has been compared to Comics Daniel Kitson, Josie Long and David O’Doherty. If you enjoy any of those people, then you’ll probably enjoy “Look Out, It’s a Trap!”
Laura Davis Look Out, It’s a Trap! is on at The Tuxedo Cat from the 11th of April
