Final Dungeon Crawl – for now

Benjamin — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 23:15:05 +0000

Dungeon Crawl last night kicked things up a few notches as our band of brave adventurers – Manderson the emo bard/fighter (played by Scott Gooding), Wolfric the Druid, hater of emo poetry (played by Richard Watts), Sparklepants the gay elf (“gelfling”) wizard (played by Toby Sullivan) and Maribyrnong, human fighter and “Scourge of Children” (played by Sean Fabri) – tracked down the source of a plague which was…er…plaguing the fair city of Tamworth. It turned out that Sparklepants’ unsupportive Dad, Andrew Reznor, was behind the plot. Who knew?

All that sets a high bar for our final night – and thankfully, we have a team equal to the task! Our final Melbourne Fringe 2010 show will see returning player and impro impressario Sean Fabri (Impro Melbourne, McGuffin); cabaret superstar, composer and all-around knockout Karin Muiznieks (World War Wonderful, First Against the Wall); comedian, dandy and DJ Andrew McClelland (Truth Be Told) and composer, writer and all-around nerdcore Casey Bennetto (Keating! The Musical, The Drowsy Driver, Half-Arsed Thursdays).

Who will they play? What will be their quest? And how will it all go terribly awry? There’s only one way to find out: be there! We are sold out, but we should have some extra standing room, so don’t be shy about trying your luck at the door.

Dungeon Crawl guest update

Benjamin — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 05:07:08 +0000

We’ve almost finalised our line-ups for the Melbourne Fringe season!

Tonight at 10:30 PM for session two, we’ll be joined by actor and director Scott Gooding (back for a second go after appearing on Tuesday as Mosely, the dwarven druid), renowned improviser and McGuffin co-director Sean Fabri, stand-up comedian Toby Halligan (Political Asylum) and writer, DJ and broadcaster Richard Watts (Man About Town, 3RRR).

On Saturday, for our earlier 6 PM show, we’ve confirmed the delightfully foppish comedy stylings of Andrew McClelland (Truth Be Told) and the incredibly talented voice, mind and body of Casey Bennetto (Keating!, Half-Arsed Thursdays). We’ll have two other guests as well – keep your eyes peeled for news of their identities!

There’s good news, and bad news…

The good news is that Dungeon Crawl started with a bang in Melbourne last night! Our guest party – Scott Gooding, Bart Freebairn, Kate O’Neill and Adam McKenzie – rocked it old school, tracking down the evil dragon who burned down the local tavern. Along they way they held a touching funeral for a vicious wolf, made a hand puppet out of a bat, set up a (drop) bear trap and bit the dragon’s epiglottis while tranformed into a badger. All in all, an excellent experience – and there are still two more for those of you who want to come along! We’re technically sold out for Saturday’s show, but we might be able to squeeze a few more people in the standing room only at the back, so please do try your luck at the door.

And now for the bad news – unfortunately, and with late notice, this year’s World’s Funniest Island event has been cancelled – so there will be no Sydney performances of Dungeon Crawl there this month. There’s a brief statement on the Island’s web site regarding the reasons for the cancellation. Sorry to all our Sydney friends, fans and guests – we’re just as disappointed as you are! But we hope to bring some Shaolin Punk madness up your way eventually.
