Best. Party. Ever.

An interactive Zoom show for Grandparents and their Grandchildren who live apart!

Two performers smile at the camera, their hands are put together in a heart shape near their chests. The first is Genevieve Mooy, who is playing Gran. She is wearing a bright pink cardigan, and has short white hair, sparkling blue eyes and a warm smile. Below her is Matt Kelly, he is wearing a dark green t-shirt. His light brown eyebrows and hair are raised in delight and he has a large (slightly goofy) smile on his face.
A compilation of images of Matt Kelly, a white male performer with a very funny face. In one image he is wearing a top hat, in another a dog licks his face, in another he is stuffing his mouth with popcorn. In the centre of the images is the title - Best. Party. Ever. An interactive zoom show for Grandparents and their Grandchildren.
A zoom screen shows 15 different screens with faces of grandparents and grandchildren smiling into the camera. Above the screen is the text - What audiences are saying about Best. Party. Ever.

Every year Matt and his Gran celebrate their birthdays together, but this year Gran is off exploring the world, so they’ll have to party together online, and YOU’RE INVITED!

But will you be able to help Matt be able to pull off the Best. Party. Ever?
Will you be able to stop his twin brother Trevor from wrecking it all?
Will you be able to help him to decorate the house, make the card, crack the codes and most importantly blow out the candles?

Best. Party. Ever. is an interactive Zoom show that has been made especially for grandparents and their little loved ones (biological and chosen) who live apart. Performed entirely on Zoom, Best. Party. Ever. features silly songs, parlour games, sock puppets and plenty of shenanigans that can be shared online, despite the distance.

Hosted by the master of ridiculous Matt Kelly (the Listies) with the delightful Genevieve Mooy.

One thing is for sure, Zoom will never be the same again!!!
