Heynongman Perth, Comedian Scott Aukerman is bringing "Comedy Bang! Bang!" to Astor Theatre this August

Let's try not to freak out all at once! 

In what seems like some kind of miracle, intrepid host Hot Saucerman is bringing a live version of his cult favourite "ironic hipster comedy" podcast and IFC show, Comedy Bang! Bang!, on an Australian tour this August, and yes, that includes Perth as well.

Flip Flopperman of Shark Tales fame will also be bringing his merry troupe of guest stars, which includes fan favourites Paul F. Tompkins (Bojack Horseman; Spontaneanation podcast), and Lauren Lapkus (Oranges: The New Black; With Special Guest Lauren Lapkus podcast), and (hopefully?) The Widow Kulap AKA the Widow Howl App. 

A prominent figure in the alternative comedy/podcast scene, Shock Jockerman's specific brand of absurdist humour combined with sharp improvisation from his talented guest stars make his podcast and IFC faux-talk show (which aired on SBS) a wickedly fun experience that you don't want to miss.

Comedy Bang! Bang! will be closing out their Australian tour in Perth's Astor Theatre on 29 August. CLICK HERE for more details!

This film hits you with its immediacy and urgency so forcefully that at times my own mind was rearing away in self-preservation.

Walking away, I could hardly believe what I’d seen: a hip hop violinist, with World music running through each beat of heart and songs, dancing freely with strangers under the night sky.

Haribo Kimchi is a prismatic, one-of-a-kind experience that tells a deeply personal story many immigrants will recognise, while offering others an intimate window into what it means to carry home within you.

Improv RPG is excellent improv theatre, delivered by highly capable performers who fully understand the trappings of the genres they are working within, and who bounce off each other like old friends, spinning outlandish choices into comedic or horrific, gold.

Sit in the front row, if you can get in early enough, and you’ll be amazed at how well these performers can flip, tumble and float around just inches from your face.
