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 Line by Line

1. Rohan Ganju and Geoff Setty present a unique funny show offering one liner after one liner. Alternating at times and really trying to make each other laugh.

2. The fun happens when the wheels fall off and the audience don’t laugh as much as we’d like. That’s when the duo go ‘to town’ on each other.

3. The one liners offer a mixture of popular culture references, black comedy and ridiculous puns.

4. Bouncing off each other like squash-balls in a small oven, Ganju and Setty offer an exclusive show each time its performed – with different one liners, different reactions and different audiences.

5. Ganju was the Runner-up in Raw Comedy 2015 and Setty has been described as ‘definitely on the up and up’ – Squirrel Comedy MICF review,  so they aren’t going to be entirely crap.

Line by Line is on at at the Courthouse Hotel on Saturday 19 Sept, 26 Sept and 3rd Oct

Lisa-Skye: Work Hard, Live Weird – A werk in progress

1. It’s the most sex-, queer-, kink-, gender-fluidity-, body-positive show of the fest. It celebrates all us glorious freaky-deaks, hedonists and weirdos.

2. It’s Lisa-Skye’s first solo show in over a year!

3. It’s FREE. It’s a work-in-progress trial show, so you’re pretty much getting in before her world domination tour of 2016.

4. It’s a god damn safe space for all of us to have some mother flipping fun. No picking on the audience, no interaction you don’t (literally) ask for.

5. Glitter and face.

Lisa-Skye: Work Hard, Live Weird  is on at the Tuxedo Cat 25-27 Sept 9.45

5 Good Reasons To See Be A Man

Reason 1
In 2015 how can anyone really define what a man is anymore? Whatever the modern day Oxford Dictionary definition of Manhood is, James Rankin and Mark McConnell are clearly failing at it. If you have ever thought of yourself as a rubbish adult, then this show will make you feel slightly better about your shortcomings!

Reason 2
Mark McConnell and James Rankin are among the most exiting comedians to emerge from the Melbourne comedy scene. Be a Man is their debut show and the fruition of all the hard and hilarious work they have put into the serious business of making people laugh.

Reason 3
Mark who is from Ireland and James from Melbourne each have a unique approach to the art of stand up. Be a Man is full of great anecdotal story telling and truly ludicrous internal monologues. If you want to experience some stand up that stands out from the rest, come see Be A Man.

Reason 4
Be a Man is silly, dark, true, insightful, aggressive and downright weird all in one show. Who honestly doesn’t love a silly, dark, true, insightful, aggressive and downright weird show?

Reason 5
Why else would you come to a stand up comedy show other than to laugh your jocks off! This show is crammed full of the hilarious attitudes and bizarre beliefs that Mark and James have as they try to determine where they stand amongst modern man. This is a debut Fringe Festival show that is not to be missed!
