5 Good Reasons to see Jekyll x James – Cactus Blastus

1. We were nominated for Best Comedy at Perth Fringe World this year. Look, let’s not beat around the bush, I mean, we’re about to take over the world. Every second you spend reading this article is a second we’re getting more famous and jaded. Come bask in the final blinding rays of our anonymity; which is in short supply.

2. If you like beatboxing, guitars, mime shoot outs, cowboys, cowgirls, reverse cowgirls (sex sells) & want a legal way to experience a peyote trip – we’re your dudes.

3. Just quickly; back to the first reason for a moment. We didn’t mean to sound conceited, or nothing. We just really believe we have a great show & that you will enjoy it. Sorry if that came off as arrogant!

4. Our 2014 show, Paradise, was compared favourably to The Mighty Boosh & Flight Of The Conchords. Which is pretty flattering. To them.

5. Sorry, I just realised that sounded cocky. Man, it’s hard not to sound like a dickhead in these things. Especially when you know your act is flawless. Just trust us, the show is really funny.

Jekyll x James – Cactus Blastus is on at at the Forum Theatre, 26 March to 19 April

5 Good Reasons to see Dave Bloustien: The Tinder Profile of Dorian Gray

1 The feeling of your lips forming a moue of annoyance at yet another show about Tinder, softening into intrigue as you realise it’s not about Tinder at all.

2 The flaring of your nostrils as you hear about a band Dave loved as a teenager, ravaged by time and misadventure.

3 The chills along your spine as Dave describes his fading significance as the single dad of a 7 year old Goth.

4 The tremble in the corner of your eye as Dave relates his brush with a potential STI.

5 The quickening of your pulse as Dave describes the most romantic first date of all time. Or possibly gets Catfished, and tasered on a beach somewhere.

5 good reasons to see Paco Erhard: Worst. German. Ever.

1 As a silly foreigner, I get to make jokes about Aussie society you yourself would never get away with, from the nanny state to the “Fahkin’ Straya” brigade… I’m foreign, I just don’t know any better!! Plus I’m German, so I don’t beat around the bush –“Vhat do you mean, offensive? It’s ze truth!!” So grab a beer and let me put some sacred cows on the barbie…

2 The Adelaide Advertiser says I’m “hilarious, educated, political, smutty and genius… he f***ing rocks at comedy!” I know, I know, I’m disgusted myself. But hey, if even South Australians manage to get excited about something… 🙂

3 Last chance to see!! Berlin wants me, baby! A big promoter in Berlin made me an offer I couldn’t refuse, and from July on it’s mainly comedy in German for me (yes, I know, oxymoron, whatever, shut up!!). So: This could be the last time you get to see me in English for quite a while. Let’s go out with a bang together!!

4 Let’s trade: you bring your friends to my show and I make my German and British fans vote for Australia at the Eurovision. Go on! Just picture our little European faces when Australia win and we have to watch next year’s Eurovision live from Melbourne at 4 in the morning… priceless!!

5 Because you love some mischief in your comedy, you want provocation within the hilarity, you like being stimulated while you laugh, you love thinking (and living) outside the box. If that’s you, then Reason #5 to see my show is simple: you will laugh your heart out and you’ll love my show.

5 good reasons to see Gold Jacket Comedy with Aaron Gocs and Angus Gordon.

1. When Aaron and I started doing comedy together we both agreed that we didn’t want to be involved in gimmicks or marketing tricks. We thought quality stand up should be able to speak for itself. This is our first MICF show together. We’ve worked hard on it and think it is a good prouduct. We’ll also be wearing sequinned gold jackets. Come watch our ideals be compromised in the face of reality.

2. I think Aaron is one of the most exciting stand up in Australia. Unkown comedians often list their influences to give persepctive audicences an idea of what they’re like. Aaron is a true original. Nobody else in comedy is like him. I can only describe him as Homer Simpson if he was forced to endure a life Frank Grimes considered fair.

3. I’m (Angus Gordon) also in the show.

4. Aaron will probbaly bring snacks to share. On his facebook he eats meals requested by his fans. I can’t explain why it’s great but it is. This is a link to his page https://www.facebook.com/AronGocs?fref=ts

5. Aaron is a cab driver so he could probably give you a lift home.

Gold Jacket Comedy is on at Spleen Bar.
