Shows at Big Fork Theatre
Diagnonsense (improv comedy)
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!

Come for the jokes, stay for the shared chaos.

“We were promised at the beginning of the performance that everything we would see would be completely improvised. After the show, my group could barely believe it... to our untrained eyes, it was too perfect and too funny to fit our meagre understanding of improvisation. And if that’s not the best compliment for Culprits, I don’t know what is" - Nothing Ever Happens in Brisbane

Queer Cryptid (improv comedy)
A night of zines, improv and legendary storytelling!
This show is a celebration of queerness through the blended art of zine* and improv. Riffing off of Big Fork's mainstay show Cool Story Bro, a regular performer at Big Fork, Cryptid^, has crafted a zine featuring queer moments from their life for the audience to choose which stories they would like to hear. Cryptid's fellow queer performers will then use those stories as inspiration for a night of improv hilarity.
Queer Cryptid is helping raise money to pay for Cryptid's upcoming top surgery at the end of January. All profits from the show will go towards the anaesthesiologist's fees, appointments, the insurance excess, and anything else that may crop up for their surgery.
If more is raised than is needed Cryptid plans on donating that money onwards.
*A zine (pronounced zeen) comes from the word magazine and is a non-commercial publication of original or appropriated texts and images
^Cryptid is a queer disabled artist and improv comedian who has been part of the Big Fork community since September 2023
