Kick start the school holidays with the coolest comedy show ever for anyone aged five to 500 million (dinosaurs included). More Fun Than a Wii is a raw, messy and ridiculously awesome show for kids! And extremely funny for adults, too. What's more, it is guaranteed not educational!Two shows only: 11 am & 1pm. BBC Scotland called the award-winning show from Melbourne comedy duo The List Operators for Kids the best comedy show at the world's biggest performing arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe. Five-star reviews abounded. "This manic Australian double act knows all the right buttons to push to make children shriek with laughter." Guardian (UK). ”Funny as any comedy show you could hope to see." EdinburghFestMag "It would almost be a waste for this gloriously anarchic show to be seen only by children!" Chortle And as an AussieTheatre.com reviewer remarked after its sell out season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival: "Take every child you know. If you don't know any - kidnap some!" The List Operators' Matt Kelly and Richard Higgins lead a raucous series of sketches and interactive games with the audience at the centre of which is lists, lists and more lists. Kelly and Higgins are veterans of children's theatre, cutting their performance teeth in the legendary RMIT Union Arts Xmas shows such as The Day my Bum Went Psycho (by Andy Griffiths), Just Disgusting (Andy Griffiths) and The Twits (Roald Dahl). They each have performed extensively throughout Australia. They most recently toured to WA for the Perth Fringe Festival in February this year, when they performed in the magnificent Spiegeltent. Come and lighten the load of the everyday, and join your children or grandchildren in having an outrageously good time. Admission is $15.40 standard, $12.80 children (12 and under) and $11.60 or groups of 10 or more.
