We're Nuts About Australian Comedy
1. Plushophiles (plushies) can openly enjoy themselves in public and no one will know your secret.
2. Stereotypes will be challenged, broken down and totally put back together stronger than ever before.
3. Bring your nan and watch her squirm.
4. If you haven’t experienced adult-themed puppetry you haven’t lived (AND Christmas Eve comes early…)
5. The show is gluten free (but definitely contains traces of nuts)
Avenue Q The Musical will be playing at Chapel Off Chapel in Prahran
1. Miss Itchy have won a Barry Award, A Piece of Wood Award and Heaviest Aggregate Show of the Festival.
2. There’s this bit in it where stuff shoots out of one of the cast members*.
3. If you have a sudden urge to get married or buried during the show, one of the cast members is an ordained Doctor Reverend**.
4. If you don’t come to this show, you’ll never know the glory that two fat mermaids, writhing on Black Rock Beach can give you in the downstairs area – if you know what we mean and if you don’t know what we mean, we mean there’s two FishBitches in this show and they’re more sex than 5 tonnes of sex explosion that’s busted out all over a public place –  if you know what we mean and if you STILL don’t know what we mean, we mean, Oh – ***you WILL get a moist boner.
5. It’s the only show in the entire festival with a free monkey****.
There is in fact only One Good Reason to See Simon Taylor
1. Billions of years ago, stars exploded and dust from those stars settled on the crust of the Earth. From that dust, simple organisms formed and from those organisms humans evolved into their current form. This means that we are all, scientifically speaking, made from the very dust of stars. With this in mind, Simon Taylor is quite dusty. This dust emerges in a beaming showcase of high energy performance, sharp wit and well considered comedy stylings.
The performance booms and trickles and swoops and scuttles around the room until it seeps through the pores of your skin, like a frog absorbing life giving water. Be a part of this immersive entertainment experience.
Drink it up and let it nourish the stardust that sits in your bones.
Open your mind to the cosmic force of the universe by embracing the joy infused into this comedian through the vibration of ancient atoms.
There are also dick jokes.*

1. I’ve dedicated the last 22 years to try and become the Queen of MOOMBA (QOM), the least you can do is come along for one night.
2. It’s bloody funny.
3. I love Melbourne, and nearly all of the money from each ticket sold goes to me.
Except for Registration, Publicity, Advertising and Booze (which will go in me).
4. It’s my first year doing the MICF.
Which is like the first day of school or a new job..and we all remember how shit that was.
