5 Good Reasons To See Inexcusable

1) Jordan and Cat Finch are two up and coming Melbourne comics keen to make you chuckle and think.

2) We’ll be having amazing guest acts each night including Claire Hooper, Geraldine Hickey and Celia Pacquola.

3) The venue is in Trades Hall, the Melbourne Fringe Hub – so you can catch a show before ours or stick around after for some of the AMAZING hub parties.

4) This show is a celebration of the diversity in Melbourne comedy. Along with our established guests we’ll have some of the most exciting comics in the scene right now.

5) Between the two of the Cat and Jordan have received nominations for Best Comedy at previous Melbourne Fringe Festivals, been shortlisted for the Rebel Wilson Comedy Scholarship AND made it through several rounds of RAW comedy – so you know you’re in for a bloody treat.

Inexcusable is on at Trades Hall from September 21 to 29

5 Good Reasons To See Will it Juice?

1) Our show is entirely unscripted, silly comedy! Every night we make it up on the spot, inspired by your suggestions.

2) You can expand your comedy horizons beyond stand-up and sketch, and put your lols in the hands of nine trained improvisers.

3) We’re nine best friends, whose individual performing credits include ‘Neighbours’, the BAFTA-awarding series ‘Mrs. Biggs’, countless festivals in Melbourne AND Sydney, and hospital operating theatres.

4) Escape the hustle and bustle of the CBD to come chill in cool Fitzroy at The Burrow

5) You’ll learn the answer to the age-old question: Will it Juice?!

5 Good Reasons To See Princess Problems

1) Nostalgia galore! We want to relive your childhood fantasies! Who didn’t fall in love with the magic and excitement of Disney classics as kid?

2) We’ve got songs and musical numbers to delight! Let’s be real, it wouldn’t be a princess themed show if somebody didn’t break into song!

3) Real talk! It’s all fun and games in fairytale land but Princess Problems also deconstructs dives deep on social commentary. Princesses can be socially critical… who knew?

4) You’re supporting women in comedy! Meerna Yousif, Tara Fox and Maddison Verduci are all emerging players in the Melbourne comedy scene.

5) It’s funny! With appearances from historical figures and deities, there is plenty to be entertained by!

Princess Problems is on at Crowded in the Vaults from September 19 to 22

5 Good Reasons to see Tandem

1. It’s a show that’s all about the importance of friendship and working together – something the world definitely needs a lot of right now!

2. We do 16 sketches in 50 minutes. That’s ACTION-PACKED comedy.

3. It’s two solo comedy shows in one, running in… Tandem. (We’re quite proud of that one.) That’s double the laughs for the same time!

4. The show is a triple threat: sketch, improv, and music. Did we mention it’s action-packed?!

5. The show features cake, crustaceans, coats, comradely, clergy, and of course… comedy. (Sorry if that breaks the five reasons limit!)

Derek Wilson and Kieran Boyd perform Tandem at Crowded in the Vaults – Vault 11 Sept 11 – 16

5 Good Reasons To See The Pageant


1) It’s a high stakes drag character comedy about a children’s beauty pageant.

2) It is pure chaos.

3) The show is being directed by Ell Sachs (The Travelling Sisters) and she’s amazing.

4) We wear white teeth enamel on our teeth and it’s gross but it’s just for you.

5) There are lots of SURPRISES!

The Pageant is on at Trades Hall – Old Council Chambers from September 21 to 29

5 Good Reasons To See Puppet Jam

1) Puppets can do things humans can’t. Sooo many things! (i.e. If you think necromancy is cool then this show is pretty much that but instead of raising dead people with blood and guts, it’s puppets breaking the laws of reality).

2) It will be a bunch of professional puppeteers given totally, unbound, creative freedom…and the results are going to be out there!

3) If you like clown/drag/physical comedy and general silliness.

4) If you also like your comedy with a good dose of queer, feminism politics!

5) If you think puppets are lame, dull, or “just for kids”…think again! This is adults’ puppetry at it’s most wild and weird. 😉

Puppet Jam is on at The Rattlesnake Saloon from September 26 to 28
