Get ready for maximum LOLs and some serious ROFLs when Australia’s favourite kids’ comedians Matt and Rich, aka The Listies, unleash their new extravaganza.
This Show is a Joke! is a one-hour explosion of slapstick, songs, chaos and ridiculous gags. Hot off their latest joke books, Matt and Rich mix fan favourites with ridiculous new antics in a comedy free-for-all for kidults aged 5 to 5 million.
Expect:
The world’s ugliest baby
The solar system’s silliest cowboys
The Universe’s best toilet paper cannons
More bubbles than have ever existed in the history of history
Even more bananas
Literally no exaggerations
*Also a possible cameo from Batman (we texted him, fingers crossed)
Expect no educational value whatsoever – just pure, side-splitting silliness.
