Category: 5 good reasons

In the lead up and during the Festivals we cover, we ask Comedians to give us 5 good reasons to come and see their show!

5 good reasons to see Matt Harvey: The sperm that made it

1) Its part of the fringe festival so you can say you are cultural and supporting the arts

2) Its cheap, even on a minimum wage job you could afford to come 1.7 times for an hours wage

3) There won’t be any gritty reboots of your favourite kids shows

4) There won’t be a convoluted love story involving a ‘meet-cute’ and easily resolved issues that are inexplicably stretched out because… script.

5) There is just as much existential angst as your favourite indie film yet it is still comedy.

5 Good Reasons to See The Crepe Hanger’s Ball

1. You laugh.

2. It has been some time since you stepped outside.

3. It’s time you treated your butt to a smaller seat.

4. The dripping tap in your kitchen is the closest you have to company.

5. The guy sitting in front of you might have a gross birthmark that you’ll tell your friends about.

5 Reasons to see 2 Up with Matt Stewart and Hap Hayward

1) These guys take comedy very seriously, so there will be no jokes

2) Hap will dress in his Sunday best (or his other day’s best
depending on the day) Matt will dress in his Sunday best (regardless
of the day)

3) This is their first Melbourne Fringe show, so, get on at the ground
floor or feel like a dickhead in a few years when they are winning the
award for being the best at comedy

4) They both have red beards. So does Louis CK. So does Conan O’Brien
(sometimes). So does Chuck Norris. Based on that, the show should be
funny (sometimes) and also an outspoken Christian martial arts expert.

5) This show includes one Hap Hayward, Raw Comedy finalist 2014, one
Matt Stewart, Raw Comedy winner 2014 and a different MC each night all
of whom are awesome

FIVE GOOD REASONS TO SEE – IS IT BECAUSE I’M INDIAN? – by Raj Moodley

1. People loved it in the Short + Sweet Festival in Sydney so I’m bringing it to Melbourne Fringe- longer, bigger and funnier! 

2. It’s a humorous take-down of people that pigeonhole and stereotype – finally, they’re good for something!

3. The show is a tale of all of theater’s favourite things: family, politics, strength and Bollywood dancing.

4. I play a bunch of different characters to show off my acting chops (that means skills, guys, not bits of meat)

5. You’ll love it whether you’re Indian or not, I promise!

Five Good Reasons to See The Sexy Detectives: Mono Logs

1. For the money.
The boys from Sexy D have flown all the way from Brisbane, and are looking to recoup their outlay. Literally dozens of dollars are on the line here.

2. For the show.
It’s a sketch show in the tradition of Rowan Atkinson Live. Think of Dave as the Rowan Atkinson-y one, and Mike as the Angus Deayton-y one (on account of his proclivity for cocaine and prostitutes).

3. To get ready.
The show is on at 6.30pm or 7pm each night. What a good way to warm up your laughing gear for a night at the Fringe, am I right?! (Am I?)

4. Now go, cat, go.
No cats will be allowed into the performance.

5. Is alive!
Sorry, that’s a typo. It’s live. It’s not a pre-recorded show.

Performing at Club Voltaire from September 29 to October 5 For more information and tickets checkout the Fringe Website

5 Good Reasons to see – The Birdmann in Momentous Timing

1. This is my favourite review of the show- “Inspiring in a way I didn’t
think comedy could be. It was heartwarming, witty, and a little sad. In a
rather beautiful way. I can guarantee you won’t get what you’re expecting,
but I loved the Birdmann.”

2. The show finale was a special guest act in Le Soiree at the Sydney
Opera House involving an interpretive dance on 5 inch silver sequined
stilettos.

3. I was nominated for The increasingly prestigious Malcolm Hardee Award
for ‘Comic Originality’ at the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe.

4. If you only see one show this year… You should get out more.

5. I love you with all my ART!
