There's a reason people get into comedy. They're extroverts who've been in situations which others would never dream of encountering. Though there may be traits of narcissism, the ones who are good at it know how to make the mundane seem interesting.
These are people who were born for the stage and have something to say. Despite this, they're often restrained to the five or ten-minute spots which lend themselves to a style of delivery or comedy which needs to grab your attention right from the get go.
What if these same people were given a space to tell a story instead? Have that faith from the audience to be taken somewhere else entirely, rather than deal with a series of gags? What if that was made into some form of competition where the 'teams' get that added impetus to deliver their most interesting tales?
It's a combination which creates something truly unexpected and brutally honest. The show comes fresh from a sell-out run at the GoMedia Comedy Carnival in New Zealand, where it won Best Concept. This is a way of channelling something different from the comedian's spirit into something beyond entertainment.
With podcasts like The Moth, Mortified and Risk bringing storytelling to a new generation, it's about time the people most familiar with the format are given a chance to show people how it's done.
Sure to be an unpredictable night of shock, awe and everything in between, come watch the NZ team battle the Aussie team in this truly unique contest.
