★★★★★ – Time Out ★★★★★ – The List
"If your kids have never been to the theatre before, do them a favour and make this their first experience. It's something they will never forget.” — The Scotsman.
"The Listies are a comedy duo who have made a very successful career out of appealing to, well not only the little kid in all of us, but the grubby, grubby little kid in all of us.” — Virginia Trioli, ABC News Breakfast.
“An hour of rambunctious fun so clever, and so perfectly attuned to its audience, it wouldn't surprise me if The Listies became the first children's comedy act to win top gong at the Comedy Festival.” — The Age

A little more about THE LISTIES
To date, they have claimed to have written ten-ish award-winning & critically acclaimed live shows, collaborated with most major theatre companies and festivals in Australia, toured 3 continents, recorded four albums, and published four books with Penguin - and they have 2 books on the way. Though we only have their word for this…
On Australian television you can see them on ABC with their shows ‘Art Blast’ ’The Listies Work For Peanuts’ and ‘What’s With the Listies?’, their music video ‘Wash Your Hands’ (with Zoe Coombs Marr and muso Ryan Ritchie) and occasionally in the background of outside weather broadcasts.
In 2022 they performed over 110 shows to tens of thousands of people all over Australia, NZ and Scotland. Nearly all of them stayed awake and only some of them vomited. Recently, in what may have been an administrative error, they won the Edinburgh Festival’s ‘Primary Times award for Best Production for Children’.
In the past they have received a Sydney Theatre Award, 'The HarperCollins Best Designed Children’s Fiction Book', and the Best Independent show (Golden Gibbo Award) at Melbourne Comedy Festival, (and they are still the only kids act to have been nommed for the Comedy Festival’s ‘Best Show’ award). What can we say - the bribery seems to have worked.
Their new book ‘This Book is a Joke’ was published in August by Scholastic.
