Hailing from Sydney, The Mad Max Remix tours to Melbourne with a brilliant and satirical one hour mash-up of the three original cult cinema flicks. The audience is presented with a live cinematic experience: visual projections of silent film footage sequenced to the newly written comedic narratives, created by three voice artists/actors, two foleys, and one sound tech.
Charting a coming of age journey, the overall presentation successfully shifts the original Mad Max characters into new personas that engage the audience in an hilarious flash-back dream-noir style super flick. The well-considered …

Be prepared for a show that is so all-over the place you won’t know what day it is, what to expect next, or if the voices in Evan Jones’s head are real or not. This schizophrenic act, probably quite like of a meander through Evan Jones day, is humble, accessible and addictively entertaining.

Expect the mandatory gags about drugs (of any sort), murderers, how Melbourne stole the Grand Prix, and the inherent boredom of living in the city of churches and the resulting strange things the locals feel compelled to do.
Boasting a varying line-up of Adelaide comedians, many of whom have made the trek to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival for the …

The title lends itself well to the routine Michal Grobelny has prepared. With no jokes, no punchlines, and a lot of circular meandering on a small stage, I was left feeling dizzy and confused, unsure whether I was Waiting for Godot at drama school or had involuntarily beached myself on the Island of Postmodern Microphone Stand Shamanism.
It was a self-confessed atrocity of error – with the added misfortune of a reviewer and two filming documentary-makers in the audience. Grobelny’s quip regarding two girls who didn’t laugh as they sat in …

You may have heard of Vaya Pashos before’everyone I have spoken to has’either through local radio station SYN FM or that annoying call you get at 8:54pm on Tuesday night: ‘May I speak with the main householder please’?
It’s a typical day in the office, and Vaya Pashos, aka Vaya the Slayer from the Annihilators Team, has arrived with tissues, coffee, a magazine, and a box of Wet Ones for wiping down the shared headset and keyboard.
