After an amazing season of Late Night shows during the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Dungeon Crawl is back to it’s usual monthly slot of 8:30 PM – and it’s May, so it’s time for our annual Star Wars special!

In Dungeon Crawl Episode VI: Return of the Dungeon, it’s do or die for the Rebel Alliance – and they must entrust a vital mission to a ragtag crew of fools!

  • Burlesque performer Adele Scott (May the Fourth Be With You)
  • Comedian Jimmy James Eaton (Sketchual Healing, The Big Hoo Haa)
  • Improviser Patti Stiles (Impro Melbourne)
  • …and more!

Join your imperial commander Admiral Ben McKenzie and his Sith Lord in training Richard McKenzie for a night of improvised adventure in a galaxy far, far away!

8:30 PM, Wednesday May 1 at the Bella Union. Tickets $15 on the door or via bellaunion.com.au.

And speaking of May the Fourth Be With You… The MC for Adele Scott’s Star Wars themed variety night is none other than Ben McKenzie! So get along and see that too; details on Facebook here.

Our season at Gluttony for the Adelaide Fringe Festival has reached the halfway point! Two parties of brave adventurers have fulfilled their destiny, and, in the words of our lovely (and very nerdy) Heckler review, two audiences have ’failed their will save versus hilarity and taken maximum comedy damage’.

On Friday March 8, in the mystical land of Moshpit, 4Chan the (Internet) Troll (Nicholas J Johnson), Bazza the Quidditch-scholarship bogan (Danny McGinlay), the cursed noble hero Ginger Knight Biscuit and sneak thief Paddy O’Furniture (Patrick and Ryan of Sound & Fury) saved the town of Salisbury from the racist red dragon Pauline Hanson! Along the way they battled goblins, wolves, terrible puns and reality television, and discovered love, redemption, old age and Unicorn milk cheese.

On Sunday March 10, in Central Earth, Absinthia the Green Fairy with razor-sharp wings and serendipitous clumsiness (Sarah Jones), Dolfin, a thief who sucked at stabbing but was a champion bore and karate expert (Jon Bennett), Barry, an elf nurse with the power of empathy (Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall) and Pork, a shape-changing druid whose transformations never went according to plan (Ryan of Sound & Fury) saved an old man from the curse placed on him by an evil necromancer! They fought zombies, evaded traps, made a boat out of kitten fur and even travelled through a magical wardrobe to a land full of mystical pants.

Only two shows remain, this Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16. Book your tickets now or just come on down to Gluttony to join us for a ‘dice-rollicking good time’!

Dungeon Crawl Time

Adventure can find its way anywhere – even into a realm full of cosy happy folk, who like nothing more than entertainment, food and company.

Yes, Dungeon Crawl is coming back to Melbourne this Wednesday, with Dungeon Crawl: An Expected Return.

For our first adventure of the year, interfering wizard Ben McKenzie and the biggest dwarf in the company Richard McKenzie take four unsuspecting, humble folk on the adventure of lifetime in search of gold, elves and perhaps even dragons. They might not come back – and even if they do, improvised comedy will never be the same…

Join guests Kevin Turner (Pop Up Playground), Nadia Collins (The Big Hoo-Haa), Sean Fabri (Bullet) and comedian Matt Elsbury on this, the first quest of 2013!

Tickets $14 at bellaunion.com.au or $15 on the door.
