69As the launch of the Fringe Festival and the opening night of A Record or an OBE draw ever closer, it seems only right to show off the flyer for the show, which will appear in a few places around Melbourne very soon. In time-honoured small budget Fringe production tradition, the print version will have on its reverse the flyer for Mr Al and Mr Nick’s new show, How to Rig an Election, which promises to do for elections what OBE will do for The Goodies: show you just how wrong they might get… How to Rig an Election stars and is written by the redoubtable Nick Caddaye, Al Gowing and Bec Hill, all firm friends of mine, and I loved their last show and so encourage you to see this one.

 

A Record or an OBE Fringe Programme Guide imageThe Fringe Festival Programme has been released! You can now find A Record or an OBE information in print in outlets across Melbourne. The show is entered in the Comedy section – we’re listed on the first Comedy page. Just look for our cunning and evocative image, seen at left, which represents the play’s title.

You can also find details here in the online Fringe Festival programme, where there’s also a link to the online booking system. Enjoy!

 

Punraiser posterOn Wednesday, September 19, A Record or an OBE stars Rob Lloyd (with his Hound of the Baskervilles companions) and Ben McKenzie (as the Man in the Lab Coat) join a host of Melbourne’s finest comedians for Punraiser!, a benefit gig in support of the RMIT Fine Art Photography Graduate Exhibition “How the Light Gets In”, to be held at Red Gallery in November.

Rob and Ben will be appearing in a line-up featuring some of Melbourne’s best indie comedians, including Lawrence Leung, Andrew McClelland, Bec Hill, Josh Earl and MC The Bedroom Philosopher.

Punraiser kicks off at 8pm and will be held at Roxanne Parlour in Melbourne. Tickets are $12 on the door, but a sell-out is expected, so you can also book tickets via Moshtix.
