Thebarton Theatre

Pizza Live
Prices: range from $37.90 to $45.90
Date: Saturday 25th February, 2006 at 7:00pm
Stooges: Pauly, kick-boxing champion, boxing champion and champion of many, many things, is still stuck delivering pizzas for Fat Pizza after ten years. Bobo, the chef and owner of Fat Pizza, hates bludging workers and uses his chainsaw as a means of conflict resolution. He lives with his mother (played by Maria Venuti) and makes, arguably, the world’s most unhygienic, yet tastiest pizzas. Habib is a drug dealer, car thief and gang member who is currently on work-release from jail. He also delivers pizzas for Bobo. Habib has a long running relationship with Toula, his overweight, Greek, donut-munching girlfriend. Toula Krapanopolous is Habibs XL girlfriend. Food is her prime motivation in life and she can use nunchuks. She is also a member of an all-female gang, called “fat chix seven”. Rocky the Lebanese Rambo, is Habibs best mate and the muscle for Habibs hustle. He is big, strong and ready to call the cousins for any brawl, anytime. His favorite sexual position is the backseat. Kevin the Kiwi is an ex-bouncer who packs the hardest punch in Fat Pizza. He loves a drink, loves the ladies and will hakka at the drop of a hat. Fully sikest Maori on Australian TV.Junior, the apprentice chef, is just like Bobo – mean, angry, ready to cut, maim, slap and make pizzas. The only difference is that he is from Samoa and he is absolutely obedient to Bobo. DJ BJ (BJ - big jams) is the pathetic pizza delivery trainee, who is on 50 cents an day. He wants to be the world hottest rapper and DJ but he only manages to DJ in lonely car-parks and regularly gets bashed by security.Chen Chong Fat (aka Chong Fat) is a Chinese Australian who loves cricket, footy, hates martial arts and has been voted by tow-truck drivers as Australias worst driver.

Dave Hughes
Prices: range from $28.00 to $32.00

After years of sold-out live comedy shows at the Melbourne Comedy Festival Dave commenced a new chapter in his career in 2002 as one of the inaugural breakfast presenters on NOVA 100 in Melbourne. With co-host Kate Langbroek and anchor Dave ONeil. Long a Melbourne only phenomena Hughesy is now truly national, with sold out live shows across the country fuelled by a bit of TV and a lot of word of mouth. You may have also seen him on a Holden advertisement or two since the beginning of 2005. Hughesy is also on the telly as a permanent cast member of ABC-TVs The Glass House with Wil Anderson & Corinne Grant. He is also on Network Tens AFL Program Before The Game every Saturday night during the football season. In 2003 he broke the record for the most tickets sold for a Melbourne Comedy Festival season ever and since then has remained one of the highest selling acts in the Festival. [Buy Tickets]

Mate this is a pi55 poor post. You have just bagged the 5hit about something you have obviously have never been too in your life because your homophobic alarm system went off 'ARTY ARTY WHOOP WHOOP'.

Cheers,

Are you suggesting that all the comedians at this Festival are gay?

Are you really that F******* Homophobic that you actually think this is what the fringe is about. Perhaps you could climb out of your cave for a bit and have a look.

[MUNGO JERRY]

ahhh shut up, both of ya.... how would you know what I've been to and what I havent? Look who's making assumptions now!

Read your original post again Mungo, and if your really think that then you have never even stepped outside of your redneck house.

[MUNGO JERRY]

now, now, you are getting a bit personal. You have your opinions and I have mine. I suppose if you were reading my post you would get the feeling I could be a wee bit 'homophobic' as u guys have put it. I suppose my sense of humour borderlines on being in bad taste and I apologize for that. I was'nt having a go at any of the artists at the fringe either, hey, if you go to town on any given night you will see many different kinds of people and thats what I was referring to.
Now, if you still want to call me names do so by all means but don't you feel just a little bit sorry for that guy who was in jail and got 'apparently' raped in the bum by Mr. Von Einem? (referring to taday's Sunday Mail) And what about the guy I used to know who passed out on the banks of the river torrens and got his sphincter stretched by a gang of sadistic bastards?
I bet if you knew these people in question and they were being derogatory about gays, you would'nt be calling them 'homophobic' would you?
Yes ,yes, this can lead to a huge debate over peoples' rights etc etc and I for one, have known and sort of hung out with a few 'gays' in the past and was even accused of being one because of that and, I didnt let it bother me. So if all this makes me a 'redneck' then so be it!.......by the way, i do get out of my house and I do know whats happening in the world around me.

End of Jan and arn't we all BOORED...!

[Footy Chick]

Scared Weird Little Guys is a must see for me at EVERY fringe.... I'm a big big fan.
