WHERE WE'VE BEEN...
Edinburgh Fringe
August 2016
World Buskers Festival, Christchurch
January 2016
Edinburgh Fringe
August 2015
Fringe World, Perth
Jan/Feb 2015
We played the whole festival at Rosie O'Grady's pub in Northbridge and were hosted by the fabulous Bootleg Comedy. In at times over 40 degree heat that started to melt parts of the puppets we were thankful for excellent air conditioning and cold pints.
NZ International Comedy Fest
May 2014
a special one off performance at understudy (the bar at bats theatre). tickets sold out within 48 hours of going on sale. the show was over three hours long and every single person stayed right till 1am! one a week night. crazy mother fuckers.
Dunedin Fringe March 2014
We played three shows a night to packed houses in the tiny Inch Bar in Dunedin as part of the 2014 Dunedin Fringe Festival. We got condoms, raisins and melted chocolate in our koha suitcase, drank our weight in Emersons' beer and had a thoroughly great time.
Wellington
September 2013
After the sudden demise of Downstage our planned performance as part of the Pick of the Fringe season morphed into a one off showing at the San Francisco Bath House on Cuba St to a room of around 200 people. Our biggest audience to date!
Adelaide Fringe
March 2013
A surprisingly fantastic and totally sold out season at the Crown and Anchor at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia. Exhausting and enlightening, the cast braved massive mossies and massive heat (James was quite happy in his lavalava though) slept in old combie vans and used outside loos, made life long friends and discovered exceptional cheap burgers.
Auckland Fringe
February 2013
The cast stole Hannah's car and took the show out of Wellington for the first time for a four night season at the Basement Theatre in Auckland. They discovered exactly how many suitcases it takes to pack up the show and how many dongles it takes to make the powerpoint work. Great crowds, great time.
Maranui (fundraiser)
January 2013
The great people at Maranui Cafe in Lyall Bay stayed late one night and let us do a fundraiser in the cafe. It was the only time we've competed with a stunning sea vista for audience attention but we won on the night and it helped cover our Adelaide air fares!
Black Week at BATS Theatre
July 2012
BATS goes black for a week every winter while young and hungry practitioner's pack in for their foray into theatre. As an exercise in keeping the bar open they asked us back. We said yes. It was great!
NZ Fringe Festival
February 2012
And this is where it all began. We expected four nights of little houses in the teeny tiniest bar in Wellington and ended up turning people away from every show because we just couldn't fit them in. What was supposed to be one week turned into two and then three eventually extending beyond the Fringe and racking up 35 shows. A nomination for best in Fringe and a win for production design and best new concept.
We were shocked. We were onto a good thing.
