What do you get if you take the greatest story ever told – and add the nativity? Well, you get The Terminator + the nativity = The Terminativity, the twisted brainchild of Nick Caddaye and Casey Bennetto, and featuring not only Richard McKenzie as The Terminator and Ben McKenzie in three roles (count ‘em!), but many of your favourite Dungeon Crawl guests as well, including Adam McKenzie, Andrew McClelland, Scott Edgar, Steven Gates and Lawrence Leung as well! Stars Mike McLeish and Aurora Kurth will take you on the most Christmassy journey of all!

If you want to come, better book now – even with an extra fourth show, it’s looking to sell out!

Busy Friends of Shaolin Punk

Benjamin — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 00:23:43 +0000

It’s a busy time for many of our wonderful Dungeon Crawlers and other comedy friends, and we hope you’ll check out what they’re up to!

This week in Adelaide Karin Muiznieks appears in the Cabaret Fringe Festival with a showcase of her songs from the last five years. We’ve often described Karin as a musical genius, and if you need proof, check out On Reflection at La Bohème from tonight until Saturday. And fret not if you’re in Melbourne; in July, after appearing in Dungeon Crawl and the Deathly Philosopher Prince’s Goblet of Azkaban, Karin and co-cabaret-conspirator Louise Joy McCrae have two shows in the Melbourne Cabaret Festival -World War Wonderful (fresh from its rebirth with a new cast in the Adelaide Fringe) and Filthy Secrets.

In Sydney tomorrow night, Lou Sanz begins a run of Not Suitable For Children at TAP Gallery. While Lou is yet to appear in a Shaolin Punk production, we’ve supported much of her work, including The Skirt Network and her previous solo shows; we’d recommend checking her out if you like your comedy dark and smoky.

Also tonight, wherever you are, you can tune into ABC1 for the premiere of Lawrence Leung‘s new show Unbelievable. Watch as Lawrence explores the world of psychics, aliens, magic and…well, lots of stuff we do in Dungeon Crawl, really. Tune in 9:30 PM Wednesdays for the next few weeks.

Finally (for now) you can catch Tripod – including crawlers Scott “Scod” Edgar and Steven “Gatesy” Gates – doing a regular spot in Melbourne on Sundays this month at the Toff in Town. Unfortunately the ticketing links are all for specific Sundays, but you can find ‘em via the Toff’s shows page.

Watch this space as I unveil our final line-up for Dungeon Crawl and the Deathly Philosopher Prince’s Goblet of Azkaban later this week – plus, if we’re lucky, some great news about Dungeon Crawl for those who don’t live in Melbourne…
