Plenty of great reviews:

Before that we’re in Montreal at the Just for Laughs Festival. To keep up to date on
our performances there, go here (we’re doing plenty of shows, check that link regularly
to find out when and where!)

We’ll be back in Australia in mid-September to launch our DVD and do a bunch of things
(including sleep, eat and sleep). Bon apetit!

During this we’ll be answering 1 question submitted by a fan - so post a question you’d like
answered on the wall of our facebook group.* The link for the group is here.

The person who submits the winning question will win an amazing prize pack of 20 comedy
DVDs, including Chapelle’s Show, Arj Barker, Sarah Silverman and heaps more!**

Submit your questions by 5:00pm Friday 4th June (Australian EST), only on the wall of our
facebook group and we’ll contact the winner by Wednesday 9th June.

Also don’t forget there’s still some tickets available for our DVD filming on June 8th at the
Metro - click here for tickets.

*A subtle hint: any questions asking what the four chords are, or when will you come to our
town probably won’t win….because we don’t know the answers.

**The DVDs are region 4/PAL encoded, so you’ll either need to live in a country that plays
region 4, or use up one of the region changes on your laptop to watch them.

Thanks so much to everyone who came and saw the show, everyone at the Garden of
Unearthly Delights, our awesome sound tech Justin, Philip Escoffey for not having a
loud show every night, the women at the Gozleme tent for great food and below average
service,  that guy from the radio station we won’t name for being the worst radio
DJ we’ve ever encountered, Ollie and Robyn and all the other awesome comics and
performers we met.
