Back by Poopular demand!

In Melbourne and performing this show for the FINAL TIME.

Join kids comedy maestros Rich and Matt for a comedy extravaganza for kids aged 4-400 million.

ROFL sees The Listies tackle the most terrifyingly tortuous family situation of all: BEDTIME. Rich, the exhausted parental proxy, is trying to get an early night while his hapless, hopeless housemate, Matt, deploys every trick in the book to stay up late.

Featuring a real-life Cowasaurus, lullabies of doom, detachable legs, a panoply of puns, and possibly too many Aldi gags this show will have you Rolling On The Floor Laughing!

Gratuitous, ridiculous, hilarious, joyous and possibly hazardous, Rich and Matt are The Listies, Australia’s maestros of kidult comedy, a multi-award-winning duo who win over everyone who comes to see them with their interactive, illogical and irreverent escapades.

You can check out their work on ABC TV’s The Listies Work for Peanuts & Art Blast, via their Teleportaloo book series, published by Penguin, and on their podcast The Listies Make you LOLCAST

“The Listies comprise straight jokester Rich (Richard Higgins) and goofy, rubbery Matt (Matt Kelly), who are the hottest cult kids’ duo in and out of town”
