5 good Reasons To See Adam Rozenbachs in “It’s Not Me, It’s Youz”

1. I’m at ACMI at Fed Square at 7:15, which is exactly the same time and venue as last year, so if you come along it’ll feel like 2014. My show will actually make you feel younger without a single chemical peel.

2. I don’t like Tony Abbott, so if you agree with me you’ll come along. Otherwise if you don’t we can just assume THAT YOU’RE THE ONE WHO VOTED FOR HIM.

3. They say laughter is the best medicine, so you’ll only feel better if you come to my show. But no really sick people. Ok, really sick people, but nothing contagious. Ok, really sick contagious people, but BYO bubble [and I’ll do a special night for those with whooping cough where I’ll just crank the volume and talk over you].

4. If you don’t come then you’ve let the terrorists win.

5. I cheated death twice this last year, so at that rate it’ll probably be your last chance to see me as I’ve got to run out of luck at some point. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m off to get some toast out of this toaster with this knife.

It’s Not Me, It’s Youz is on at ACMI – Cube. For more information and bookings visit the website:

5 Good reasons to see ‘Kate Dehnert – Pony Yell’

1. Kate plays a Pony with a bad back.

2. Ponies are excellent mail deliverers, and this show will reinforce that important fact.

3. Because you can relate to having a letterbox.

4. And you can relate to having a version of yourself stuck in another dimension who communicates through the mail.

5. Plus you can relate to the frustrations of work and having a co-worker sucked into your computer, who then takes a dump in the recycling bin.

5 good Reasons to See Emily Taylor’s – Backwards

5. Real kids helped make it! Hanging out with primary school kids as part of the writing process was

heaps of fun. And the show is chock full of their insights, quirks, honesty and humour.

4. This is not stand up. If you’re after something a bit different this comedy festival, this show is for

you. Satire, situation comedy, comically conflicted characters and a little bit of drama is all wrapped

up together in one interwoven narrative.

3. The profits from this season go to charity! The kids who worked on the show with me will choose

a charity to donate the profits to. So far they’ve suggested animals, sick animals, baby animals and

Lego. (We’re not choosing Lego).

2. You can bring your kids. Or (with their permission) someone else’s! Whilst not created solely for a

young audience, working with kids on the show meant that of course kids had to be able to come

and see it too. Anyone from the age of seven will get a kick out of it – adults too.

1. You will recognise yourself or someone you know. Whether you’re a kid, a big kid or a serious

Adult, Backwards explores the whole spectrum. Some of us grow up, some of us were always grown

up and some of us just like to laugh about poo.

 

Backwards is playing at Northcote Town Hall
