Sean Morahan

What shows should you see at this year's Sydney Fringe Comedy? For starters, I'll probably go to the shows I am performing in, 1 Liner (below) and a few others listed below.

 

Sean Morahan – 1 Liner

Take five parts comedy, three parts pondering and one part that fluffy green stuff growing in the back of the fridge. Put them in a blender on high for an hour. Noisy and messy, isn't it? Let me do it for you. Slightly less noise and mess.

 

Sean’s work is also proof positive that the best comedy makes you laugh and makes you think. “Not only is there an instant enjoyment of a joke,” says Sean, “but the thought behind it can provide a longer-lasting laugh. And we could all use that!”

 

“Don’t choose between storytelling comedy and one-liner comedy,” says Sean. “Come see my show and have both!”

CJ Delling – Reality Bandit

CJ thought the whole world was conspiring against her, but then noticed that it might just be all in her head. CJ leads a cheerful comical expedition into our relationship with reality, from augmented reality to rubber chickens.

 

'Reality Bandit' is a cheerful and quirky expedition into our relationship with reality, truth, biases and other problems we didn't know we had. "This is intelligent and elegant comedy." Squirrel Comedy 2014

 

There are plenty of comics in Australia who like to point out what is ridiculous in our world, but only one doing it from the perspective of a German-born, Sydney-dwelling weekly SBS Radio satirist who has a sideline in cartooning.

Elena Gabrielle and Grant Busé – The Shuffle Show

How about a comedy show with singing, dancing, acting and more?  Genius!

If you ever suspected that performing a comedy show was too easy, Elena Gabrielle and Grant Busé will prove you right. Not satisfied with entertaining you with comedy alone, they sing, they dance, they act, Grant plays guitar (I think the cool kids call it ‘awesome chops’ and ‘shredding the axe’).

One hour. One thousand songs. Sounds ridiculous? It is.

Taking on a medley of medleys, musical comedians Elena Gabrielle and Grant Busé present an epic musical adventure inspired by your favourite and most embarrassing iTunes playlists.

From The Beatles to Beyoncé, The Shuffle Show has something for everyone…except fans of One Direction…actually…okay, still no.
