The Listies Ruin Xmas and Stick Man

Pack your Chistmas crackers, the Sydney Opera House has festive family fun covered this summer! Liven up the pre-Christmas countdown with The Listies Ruin Xmas, a cheeky comedy bursting with belly laughs from 16 - 24 December 2015, then rediscover the meaning of family as Stick Man leaps from bestselling page to musical stage from 6 - 17 January 2016.

First up – and fresh from the launch their illustrated Ickypedia: A Dictionary of Disgusting New Words – hot comedy duo The Listies add some -pooetry' to panto with the premiere of The Listies Ruin Xmas, the ultimate end-of-year party for kids.

The Listies are comedians Richard Higgins and Matt Kelly, two of the rudest, silliest, grossest guys in Australia. Combining slapstick, clowning, some utterly ridiculous props and their signature obsession with creating lists, they get kids where they live.

Higgins and Kelly's first comedy show was nominated for a Barry Award at the 2010 Melbourne International Comedy Festival and went on to five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They've since toured the country and word has spread across playgrounds nationally.
