This Is Living

Event Date: 17/10/2022, 09:30 pm

Alice is cold, she's tired, and Michael won't stop telling her that she died twelve hours ago.
By Liam Borrett Directed by: Gavin Roach

Performed by: Emerson Hansford & Damian Okulic

Alice and Michael met six years ago. Three years later their daughter Lily was born. Now, in a Yorkshire meadow, just past midnight, they're having an argument. Because Alice is cold, she's tired, and Michael won't stop telling her that she died twelve hours ago.

Dealing with themes of loss, grief and heartache, this intimate portrayal of a relationship forces us to examine our own lives, Liam Borrett’s script seamlessly weaves past and present together, switching without warning from comedy to tragedy and back again.

A poignant exploration of what it means to say goodbye, This is Living was first performed in a critically acclaimed and award-winning production at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014. It had its London premiere at Trafalgar Studios, London, in 2016.

The twists come thick and fast in a show about identity, performance and authorship.
By Thomas Eccleshare Directed by: Gavin Roach

Performed by: Michelle Perera and Kristina Benton

If you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, does it make any more sense to judge a book by its author?

A reclusive children’s writer becomes wildly successful. Her books are treasured across the country. Her public are desperate to know just who is behind the stories. But as a troubling narrative begins to unfold and her constantly irrational excuses, readers begin to ask, what is she so afraid of?

Brilliantly imaginative and theatrically original, Heather by Thomas Eccleshare is a short, sharp play about language, prejudice and the power of stories.

Shit-Wrecked!

Event Date: 14/10/2022, 07:00 pm

Quick Tix open to all VIC members
Golden Gibbo Nominees - Melbourne International Comedy Festival, 2022

All aboard you gaslighting girl bosses to the cruise that defines the spirit of the seas!

For all those who wish to feel the salt in their eyes, wind on their tits and semi-stale fish fingers in their gob, this is a ship that does not discriminate. The prosecco is warm, the mattresses are Cruskits and the arancini’s a god damn gobstopper, but hey, your wristband’s tight, your g-strings tighter, your car’s on a boat!! (incredible!!!) and you’re smellin’ like a coconut’s armpit all the way from Port Melbourne to Devonport.

After smash-hit sold out tour of ‘No Hat, No Play! The Cabaret!’ and being coined ‘the future of Australian comedy’ (Herald Sun), queer musical comedy duo Samantha Andrew (TikTok star, Green Room award-winner) and Mel O’Brien (not-a-TikTok-star and not-a-Green-Room-award-winner) are back with 'Shit-Wrecked!'

Featuring a smorgasbord of sketches and an all original soundtrack with songs including: ‘Me n’ My Wonky Tit’, ’That’s How I Died in IKEA’, ‘Depop Piss Pot’ and ‘Lifeboats Are For Women and Children (sha la la la)', this show is bound to be the longest ‘yeah buoyyyyyy’ in history!

So in the name of the son, the ghost and THE Holy Spirit herself, PLUNGE into that murky kid pool, you Australiana opal-bedazzled sister! Let your captains Mel & Sam do the rest, cos it’s high tide (and high time) to get Shit-Wrecked!

Bon voyage, bitches. It’s time to play fucken’ mermaids.

Amazing Adventures Of Her Majesty Jubilee!

Event Date: 16/10/2022, 07:00 pm

Affectionate musical comedy @ Melbourne Fringe
This affectionate musical comedy is a tribute to a thoroughly modern, fully empowered female role model – a woman who headed up a country and united a commonwealth for more than 70 years, earning respect, admiration and affection from around the world.

From the vantage point of her Platinum Jubilee and final year, we see how this colourful lady head of state defined the postwar era. In this show, Carole Shaw reflects on HM’s long life and reveals her ‘all’ to her people – her undying love for her corgis, the men in her life, her singlehanded success at forging peace processes, her secret passion for motorbikes ... with a surprise ‘coming out’ at 96.

You are regally commanded to join Her Majesty for tea, free cake & biscuits, and a gracious glimpse into hitherto unseen aspects of her life – with audience participation, SingalongaLiz and a quiz. We may mourn her passing and the end of an era, but HM would not have wished us to be miserable.

Don't miss the UK’s answer to Hannah Gadsby and Mrs Maisel! Handbag – the regal older lady’s Fleabag!
★★★ “A solid, warm performance with delightfully silly moments” The Reviews Hub

N.B The online version of this show was filmed before the Queen’s recent death.

The Briefing

Event Date: 15/10/2022, 09:30 pm

A press conference with the USA’s second most notorious liar.
Melissa McGlensey is tackling the dumpster fire of news from the USA in the only way she knows how – through comedy.
You’re invited to be part of the press pack at The Briefing – a send-up of right-wing politics that takes
aim at the USA, only to catch Australia in its crosshairs as well.
Behind the podium, McGlensey transforms into right-wing blowhard Sarah Sanders, taking you on a journey of political theatre, partisan nonsense and dark humour, before giving you the right of reply in an improvised Q&A session that promises to yield more laughs than actual answers. You’ve never experienced a presser like this before. Don't forget to bring your questions!
The Briefing is directed by Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall, a stand up and sketch comedy performer ('Magma', 'Teleport') who writes jokes for TV like Shaun Micallef's Mad as Hell and co-hosts the podcast, Two In The
Think Tank.
The Briefing is written and performed by Melissa McGlensey, a writer (The Onion, Reductress, The Betoota Advocate) and improviser/comedian (Completely Improvised Survivor, The Big HooHaa!, Soothplayers) originally from the USA. As an expat and former journalist, McGlensey offers a unique perspective on the important political moment we are living in.
