This is the sandpit from hell, but hey, the audience is left helpless with laughter, so we didn’t mind.

The Bally at Gluttony

Until March 14

Grade 6 at Rockdale Primary is the sandpit from hell ruled over by Mel and Sam, whose DNA links them to the great bogan women of Australian comedy but with added queer genes.

These hyperactive monsters are screamingly funny and their energy floods off the stage, leaving the audience helpless and shaking with laughter.

Your heart bleeds for James L and Cameron targeted for their attention.

The physicality, the dance moves, the raucous songs, beautifully harmonised, the sheer vivacity grab you by the belt and drag you along.

Question though: is MSN still a thing? Crazy Frog? Scissoring Bratz dolls? Whatever.
