Tom Ballard
Boundless Plains To Share

The little-known second verse of the Australian national anthem claims that we have ‘boundless plains to share’, but boat arrivals, Christmas Island, Nauru, mandatory detention and abject human misery have made a liar of the tune, and comedian Tom Ballard (2016 Helpmann Award Winner for Best Comedy Performer, shortlisted for the 2016 Annual Edinburgh Comedy Award) has some things to say about it. Funny, furious and close-to-the-bone, you’ve not experienced advancing Australia fair quite like this before.

A life in a skate shop. Performed in the actual bloody shop (please don’t steal anything).

Performed in the actual shop and set in 2008, it’s a show about things I do by day, for love, by night and with and for idiots. I’ll show you my side of the story and both sides of the counter.

Do you need any help with anything?

Guinea Pigs

Sarah and Nick know everything about science. Not literally obviously. That would involve serious academic study and, let’s face it, that sounds really tedious.

Their scientific know-how is about to be put to the test as they endure a litany of half-baked psychological experiments designed to explore the darker side of their psyches. Locked in a room and forced to perform a bizarre series of tests by an unseen captor, they have just one chance to escape. Will they snap under the pressure? Probably.

Guinea Pigs is a lo-fi sci-fi tale of psychology, revenge and marshmallows.

Joel Tito
The Trial and Death of Socrates

The Trial and Death of Socrates (No Relation) is a clown-based storytelling show that focuses on its silent central character – Socrates (no relation) – and his struggle against a disembodied yet distinctive voice who proclaims that by the end of the show, Socrates will be dead. “I’m going to kill him”, the voice tells us.

What follows is a story of plagiarised manuscripts, nonsensical meditative practices, absurd auctions, impossible love and an ever-present darkness bubbling beneath the surface. Bookended by a special guest performance from Japan’s most prolific operatic enka singer, this is a show that is as crazy as it is thoughtful.

Jason Marion & Alison Bice
Former Child Star

Alison Bice and Jason Marion’s warped minds have joined forces to bring you a comedy festival show for the dark at heart.

Bruce is currently in prison on sexual harassment charges filed by Connie, while Connie is now desperately trying to make a comeback with her new autobiography.

Thrill! To the dastardry of Asher Treleaven as the moustache-twirling (possibly German) villain.

Become agog! At the feats and pratfalls of Andrew McClelland as the heroic tramp who loved her and Lol! To Adam Mckenzie as humorous incidental characters.

With live music written and performed by the virtuoso Mr Sammy J!

Self-confessed cock-rock junkie Geraldine Quinn is honouring Australia’s Tommys on the dock and Geenas in the diner. Or Tommy in a Dandenong servo and Geena at the Coles deli. This spectacular show combines a huge voice, daring costumes, and Quinn’s award-winning brand of original musical comedy. A rockin’, rollin’, fist-in-the-air, high-note-squealin’ shout to urban growth boundary middle-of-the-roaders. You’re the voice. Try and understand it. Woah. Repeat.
