Fringe registration time
Yes, it's that time of year: time to firm up all the details if you're doing a show for Fringe.
Shaolin Punk is doing a show for Fringe. Maybe two. You know: something old, something new...
Watch this space for a proper announcement soon!
Post Comedy Festival quick update
It's been a while since the Festival ended in Melbourne, and it's time to say thank you to all the people who came along to +1 Sword, Dungeon Crawl and the Museum Comedy programme and Melbourne Museum. It was a great Festival for Shaolin Punk, and we couldn't have done it without you!
+1 Sword has been such a lot of fun that we're planning to tour it around Australia - and maybe beyond. At the moment nothing is set in stone, but we're at least hoping to do shows in Sydney and Brisbane later in the year, and probably a short return season in Melbourne. Stay tuned for more info!
Meanwhile Museum Comedy is presenting its first ever interstate show this week, with the Mythic Creatures Comedy Tour at the Australian National Maritime Museum in Sydney! One show only, this Saturday at 6 PM. Find out more at the Museum Comedy web site.
Dungeon Crawl: session three
Last week, Dave Bloustien's elderly illusionist (who created such mighty illusions as the sensation of having water in your ears and that feeling you get when you've left the gas on at home), Clem Bastow's half-elf druid Malcolm Turnbull (whose only spells, Hold Animal and Speak With Plants, turned out to be surprisingly useful), Jordan Raskopoulos's rogue Queerhand Fondlesacks (inspired by Mr. Humphries of Are You Being Served? fame) and Dave Thornton's Eskimo fighter (whose chief role in the party seemed to be carrying the illusionist) managed to defeat the evil minions of an even more evil necromancer before foiling their master's supremely evil ritual. Never has a dungeon crawl seen such choreography, or the desire to get a complete set of items fuelled entirely by fashion sense!
This week is your last chance to get your dungeon on, with guest players Nick Caddaye of the Anarchist Guild Social Committee, returning crowd favourite Jordan Raskopoulos (Axis of Awesome), Fear of a Brown Planet's Aamer Rahman and actor, comedian improviser and all-round lovable guy Toby Truslove. It's a big night, and it's your last chance to be part of the crawl! This Wednesday, April 14, 10:30 PM at Gertrudes Brown Couch, 30 Gertrude Street Fitzroy. Get tickets via comedyfestival.com.au, Ticketmaster 1300 660 013, or just turn up at the door.
