5 Good Reasons to See Undercover Festival Cops

1. When Melbourne’s biggest drug dealer is also Australia’s favourite stand-up comedian, two cops will take on the comedy festival by going undercover as comedians – but they’ll have to get funny pretty damn quick.

2. You’ve probably seen this scum bucket* on stage and laughed at their scum bucket jokes… even though they’re super great! But we’ll see who’s laughing when we reveal their scummy double life, using some ‘by the book’ police work.

3. We are NOT COPS! Stop asking! We are funny comedians doing a show. Okay!

*They are actually a really really really really really nice and decent human being.

4. Move along, nothing to see here! Except the show. Go see the show, that’s an order!

5. Undercover Festival Cops starring Chris Martin and Taylor Edwards opens Monday 12th April and goes til Saturday 22nd April (No shows Easter long weekend) at Tasma Terrace.

5 Good Reasons to see Chris Martin & Taylor Edwards in BangNation

1. Puppies are our number 1 demographic

What can we say? Puppies love our style of comedy, possibly because we perform like insane loveable puppies. Our venue has a strict no pets policy so you should see us and tell your pets how good it was! They want to know.

2. We have the number 1 animal costume in show business

Part of comedic magic comes from our shitty glorious props and costumes – we have one sketch where the animal costume is so realistic you’ll be thinking “Hey I thought I was at a comedy show… not a zoo! What’s going on here?”

3. We eat a lot of Vietnamese cuisine

Vietnamese cuisine is delicious, fresh and made with love. We eat so much of it that it rubbed off on us. The results speak for themselves, BangNation is well seasoned and pho-tastic!

4. The show is genuinely good and funny

We are very proud of our crazy little show and we love performing it for anyone who lets us. One night, some guy described our stage chemistry as the spaghetti scene from Lady and the Tramp, so that’s pretty cool! Reviews have described this show as genuinely funny, with a dorky charm mixed with the hyperactive absurdity of Sam Simmons. Hell yeah!

5. BangNation is a celebration of the style of comedy that bought Chris and Taylor together

That’s right! We’re a couple. We met doing improvised comedy together years ago in Brisbane and have a love affair with fast-paced, absurd comedy. BangNation is our celebration of the joy that can be found in the silliness of life and in each other.

Chris Martin & Taylor Edwards perform BangNation The Downstairs Lounge at The Grand Mercure Hotel,  Mar 24 – Apr 3
