Description

Riotous, gratuitous and possibly hazardous, Aussie kids comedy duo The Listies return to the Fringe for the eleventeenth time with a new show. ROFL tackles the most dramatic family situation of all time: bedtime! Rich, the exhausted parental proxy, tries to get an early night while Matt uses every trick in the book to stay up. Packed with rambunctious humour, a mini panto, detachable legs and too many baked beans. 'Funniest kids show I've ever seen' (Frank Skinner). 'Slapstick and scatology' **** (Scotsman). 'Releases hysteria in all ages' **** (Chortle.co.uk). Winner: Melbourne Fringe Best Kids Show, 2023.

Fantastic show! Our boys loved it, as did we. Cheeks sore from laughing so hard. Thoroughly recommended to make the whole family laugh

Took my 7 and 5 year olds to this based on another review and we all absolutely loved it! Laughed from start to finish. Can't recommend this enough for a kids show.

Hats off to these guys - a genuinely funny kids show that my 7 and 9 year old loved, and adults will enjoy too

The best kids comedy show you can see at the Fringe. Another 5 star show from the listies. Thank you for the LOLS.

Truly hilarious show, great set up, the tangents, fab delivery. Took my 7 and 5 year old girls and we all loved it. Mention of ROFL so hard a little bit of pee comes out…cue 5 year old loudly: Mummy it’s true that happens to me!

We saw the Listies two years ago with their production of Hamlet: Prince of Skidmark, and were keen to go back to see them this year. They did not disappoint. My nine year old child loved this, and so did I. They are great entertainers, and really understand the humour that kids enjoy. Would definitely see them again.

Brilliant show, funny, warm, gentle and great for all ages. My belly hurt from laughing and I've never smiled so much for a long time. Highly physical and very well executed, we will be laughing at this for a long time!

You made my face hurt from laughing! A warm, joyful, brilliantly executed piece of highly physical yet very witty playful adventure. Incredible timing, audience participation and every laugh milked and made funnier. Adults and my tricky tween guffawing, joining in and singing songs from the show afterwards. Thank You Listies - an incredible, colourful journey to remember and smile back on every bedtime! x

The Listies have perfected kidult humour, and the room is filled with giggling from start to finish, with a hour once again feeling waaaayyy too short…
