Nine minutes of a remix from the podcast of the two dickheads saying “dumb cunt”.
That’s how the podcast began, which meant that they got onto the stage nine minutes late.
The guests were: Wil Anderson, Dilruk Jayasinha and Stephen K. Amos, plus a last minute appearance by Xavier Michelides for “Xavier’s Corner”.
Live podcast recordings, no matter which one are usually really good value, amazingly so. You’re at least getting three, usually more than that on stage for an hour. It’s unscripted, unwritten and really quite good. It’s often a bit unexpected and kinda like a TV show you need to listen to a few episodes back before seeing it to get the in jokes.
Such as the Koh Samui International Podcast Festival, for which you could buy t-shirts to support, also known as Karl Chandler’s excuse to go on (another) holiday to Thailand. Supposedly 75 people have said they would be going, I am not one of them.
The stage awaiting the arrival of the "dumb cunts"
While I’ve titled this as being part of the MICF 2017, it isn’t, well, not technically, it’s not listed on the comedyfestival.com.au website and it’s not promoted as being a part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. It just happens to be taking place during April which coincidentally is when the MICF is on. I imagine it’s a cost thing, the MICF would charge cash to be listed on their website, to go in their little booklet etc.
In previous years I know it was, but this year, with the season passes selling out and the room looking pretty packed I would imagine that there’s enough word of mouth for them not to need to be within the MICF’s guises.
You can book through the Little Dum Dum Club website they use TryBooking rather than Ticketmaster, for the Little Dum Dum Club and for Tommy Dassalo and Karl Chandler’s own shows, again I gather from their diatribe on the Little Dum Dum Club this is a cost thing with Ticketmaster taking a fairly sizeable chunk.
