What can people expect from your show at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival?
Riots, nudity, offensive odours.
And that’s just the audience.
BRITISH AND IRISH COMEDIANS TO SEE THIS YEAR
TOP COMICS REVEAL THEIR FAVOURITE COMEDIANS
My associate and fellow greatest actor in the world, Maurice Cock and I will redefine the lowly art of impro by largely ignoring suggestions from the audience and creating our own comedic genius live in front of the panting and pants-less masses.
We’re firm believers that rehearsals are for amateurs. S--thouse Impro 2 will prove that.
What have you been up to since last time you were here?
We have been undergoing intensive training in improvisation and by that, I mean we’ve done nothing.
Who should see your show, and why?
If you like joy, laughter and men in tights, this show is for you.
If you don’t like men in tights, you should probably see some kind of psychologist. Seriously, what’s wrong with you?
What’s your No.1 tip for people coming to see a show at the comedy festival?
See our show first. All other shows are inferior.
Which other comedians/shows are you keen to see at this year’s festival, and why?
None really. See the answer above.
What do you love about Melbourne?
We have chosen to live in Melbourne simply due to the population’s odd fascination/obsession with football and coffee.
We find that people are so obsessive over these two things that you can almost get away with anything.
Who or what is your comedic inspiration, and why?
Animals in tights. We can’t really explain it. Just Google it.
Anything else you want us to know about you or your show?
Have you bought tickets yet? No?
Then that is what I will tell you about our show. Buy tickets now.
