Maestros of comedy and family favourites The Listies are returning to The Art House Wyong with an hysterical new show for the July school holidays.
The Listies: ROFL (Rolling on the Floor Laughing) is a highlight of The Art House Presents school holiday program which is a brilliant introduction to theatre and theatrical experiences for children aged five and over.
Critical Stages Touring CEO Robbi James said it had been more than two years since they were able to bring the fun of The Listies to audiences.
“It’s a delight to finally see Matt and Rich on the road again and after a sold-out season at the Sydney Opera House last summer, where thousands of young people got to enjoy their special brand of chaos and hilarity up close,” he said.
“I’m sure that families on the Central Coast will be genuinely rolling on the floor laughing when they come to Art House Wyong.”
ROFL is a bonkers sketch comedy extravaganza made just for kids where The Listies tackle the most tortuous family situation of all – bed time.
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 toilet paper cannons, a real life Cowasaurus, lullabies of doom, detachable legs and a panoply of puns, ROFL is just as much fun for adults as it is children.
The multi-award-winning duo behind the show are Matthew Kelly and Richard Higgins, who united to perform absurdist comedy to adults but switched to full-time kids’ comedy in 2011.
To date, they have written and produced nine critically acclaimed live shows, three “owl bums” and several books published by Penguin.
They can also be seen on ABC TV’s The Listies Work for Peanuts.
The Listies: ROFL (Rolling on the Floor Laughing) will be on stage at 10am and 6pm on Wednesday, July 5, with special Vacation Care ticket prices and family passes available.
