SKETCH FEST 2024: Cheeky Moon: Hits & B-Sides & A New History of Humans
Part of Sketch Fest 2024, a celebration of sketch comedy and a platform for new work 5-7 April
A New History of Humans (Caitlin McGrath)
When the meteor hit the earth in the late 22nd century, humanity had to evolve quickly to survive. In this seminar, you will see newly discovered archived footage of some of the earliest hybrid human beings who emerged from this new world.
Caitlin McGrath is an improviser and sketch comedian who has trained and performed in Australia and overseas, including Belfast (Belfast Improv Comedy) and London (The Nursery). Most recently, she performed with Oh, Artemis Theatre Collective at the New Zealand Improv Festival (“impressive and absorbing… the cast are all excellent”- The Wellingtonista). You can now regularly find her writing silly sketches and making things up on the spot at her new comedy home, Big Fork Theatre in Brisbane.
Cheeky Moon: Hits & B-Sides (Claire Coe & Alastair Craig)
For 10 years Claire Coe and Alastair Craig have delighted audiences with their wordy comedy, unexpected emotional turns and weird siblings-or-dating energy.
They've appeared on Funny or Die and won multiple awards for their YouTube series "IT'S A CULT!" — but you'll remember them best from their short film that screened aboard Carnival's "Big Nude Boat" Caribbean cruise.
This rare mini-set covers the most loved sketches from Cheeky Moon's first decade: a tasteful platter of British-inspired wit, reality-bending twists, bittersweet humanity and late '90s dance pop (sometimes all four within the same sentence).

Fast-paced and memorably silly since 2022, Matt Nunn & LIZZ are hot off the back of their sold-out interstate debut. In Saturn Devouring Fun!, prophecy has foretold that the duo will be overthrown by one of their own – but that probably won’t happen, thanks to trusty hubris. Featuring some of Matt Nunn & LIZZ’s favourite new faces in comedy, their dozen fresh sketches (and their new family members) are ripe to be devoured. Guaranteed to satisfy the hunger of anyone who could note the differences between Greek and Roman mythology, but would also like to celebrate how patting a dog is cool and great.

From ghosts, to medieval peasants, to the supermarket Aldi, this absurd journey of sketch comedy has something for… you? Existential dread, the endless passage of time, and devastating break ups - what are they but fuel for the comedy forge. Get silly with your crises!
Partners in Goof (NSW) (Hayden Wright & Josh Magee)
Hayden and Josh are PARTNERS IN GOOF, a high-energy two-person sketch team creating odd comedy at top speed. You'll see solo characters, surreal songs, and scenes so surprising you'll need to wrestle your eyebrows back into submission. They're rude dudes with tons of 'tude, so strap in for a ride-along you won't want to miss.

When making a show you need to ask yourself, “Is it silly?”. Well Silli Boiz are here and boy are they silly. From the sandpit jokesters to the tree climbing pranksters we found the most foolhardy, doltish doughboys to silly up your life. Come see four grown men make truck noises as they park their Tonkas then proceed to yell “pow” as they chase each other around with finger guns. You’ll be as happy as a wee lad with a stick, like a really good stick. Time to get serious, seriously silly.
