ROFL (Rolling On The Floor Laughing)
Back by Poopular demand! Join Rich and Matt for a comedy extravaganza jam packed with magically stupid stuff.
ROFL sees The Listies tackle the most terrifyingly tortuous family situation of all: BEDTIME. 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, a panoply of puns, and possibly too many Aldi gags. This show will have you Rolling On The Floor Laughing!
Gratuitous, ridiculous, hilarious, joyous and possibly hazardous, Rich and Matt are The Listies, Australia’s maestros of kidult comedy, a multi-award winning duo who win over everyone who comes to see them with their insane, interactive, illogical and irreverent
escapades.
As seen on ABC TV’s The Listies Work for Peanuts. The Listies’ Teleportaloo book series, published by Penguin, is available in all bad bookshops.
