Comedy Gold

Serious people need not peruse. Who says theatre has to be depressing to leave you with tears streaming down your face? Beat the wintery blues with this collection of side-splitting, utterly ridiculous, brilliantly sharp slices of comedy gold. Laughter is the best medicine after all.

From the creators of South Park comes a musical so audacious it’ll leave you wondering which jokes will earn you eternal damnation for giggling at. One Mormon’s existential crisis of faith may provide the backdrop, but absolutely no one is safe here and you’ll be in stitches the entire time. Guaranteed to offend anyone with a remotely sensitive disposition, maybe leave Gran at home for this one…

Absolutely nothing silly happens in this play whatsoever. Every door stays perfectly in place, every prop behaves impeccably, and the actors composure and decorum is infallible. It’s a solemn, dignified masterpiece of theatre. And yet somehow, against all reason, you will laugh until you cry.

Come for the irreverent comedy, stay for the bratty curls. They really should be billed just for how much personality they bring to the table in this 80-minute masterpiece. American history? Maybe. Mostly true? That’s for you to decide.

“We want… a Lloyd Webber-style number about choosing which bird to roast for Christmas dinner. Call it Geese: The Musical”. Showstopper is completely improvised, taking audience suggestions and somehow turning them into a musical masterpiece in real time. It never should work, but somehow always does.
