High octane laugh out loud improv comedy!

Opening the show this week is the La Ronde - character driven improv show featuring our most experienced and newest improvisers. It's a lot of fun!

A night of wild comedy PLUS a dance party!

Ben Snaith (Orlando furious) is doing a silly comedy show with and for their friends. And also: friends of those friends and even; friends of those friends of friends and also people beyond their own friends of friendship network (strangers).

At Big Fork Theatre (a home for sketch and improv comedy)

On Friday March 13 at 7pm!

And for the inclined subject to Big Fork approval: a darkened city-view dancefloor is what will become of our classroom space from directly after the show until 930pm.

The tickets are $15 ($10 early bird) and half of the profits will go to Big Fork and the other half to the performers.

Little spoons for big laughs!

Come see Brisbane's funniest and most endearing disabled and chronically ill improvisers do funny make-em-ups on stage for your entertainment.

We know better than most that laughter isn't actually the best medicine, but it sure can ease the load of moving through a world that wasn't built for you.

Diagnonsense is scheduled at an early evening showtime to help you manage your spoons. Head home early if you're spent or hang around for more hilarious comedy with Big Fork Theatre's regular Saturday Night Comedy programming.

Big Fork Theatre is a fully accessible venue. The corner entrance to the building is stair-free, there's an elevator that will bring you up to the second floor and the flexible seating in our theatre can be adapted to accommodate any needs. Strobe lighting will never be used in a Diagnonsense show.

Personal accommodations (headphones, stimming, etc) are welcome, we just ask that you respect the performers' needs and limit talking/vocal expression while the cast is performing. Laughing is encouraged of course! Please reach out of you have any particular accessibility needs you'd like accommodated. We can't promise everything will be possible but we'll always try.

Diagnonsense is brought to you by a Little Spoons, a group of Big Fork Theatre community members living with disability and chronic illness. Through these shows, we hope to grow the visible representation of disability and chronic illness on Brisbane performing arts and comedy stages. In the process we might just happen to break down some stigmas, challenge some internalised ableism and encourage more inclusive practices across the arts. But no pressure!

Best Comedy Nominee - Anywhere Festival Brisbane 2025

Triumphant magpies, sharks in turmoil, heartbroken giants: Allow these real headlines to inspire Saturday night comedy at Big Fork Theatre as two teams ignore all context and take these headlines about Cats, Saints, Demons and Pies as-is.

HEADLINE ACT is a battle of short, sharp scenes, where anyone in the room can be red-carded, and the video referee is always on hand to inject some chaos.

“Is HEADLINE ACT for me?”, you ask? Yes! It’s a Saturday night crowd-pleaser that will delight all adult audiences, even those who’ve never before seen live improvised comedy. After all, wouldn’t you love to see a scene titled “Knights consider line in the sand” or “Sharks aiming to continue history of sustained success”?

Hosted by Glenn Seaby and Liz Talbot
