CANNIBAL FARM - a play by Alex Barker
A Comedy Festival Show
-------------------------------------------------------
Revolution, Burgers and Contradiction! Competition is fierce in the
fast-food industry. An inter-franchise profit war has broken out and
meat supplies are critically low. In reponse, the McRussalds staff seize
control from their tyrannical manager in a communist coup! But how do
they hide the evidence?
Cannibal Farm is a manic satire that pays homage to George Orwellís
Animal Farm, Clerks, Delicatessen, The Smurfs, Macbeth and many many
more. Featuring all your favorite socialists and special-guest starring
Death as himself.
Written and directed by Alex Barker, Cannibal Farm re-works the greatest
social-experiment of all time . . . in a sesame-seed bun. After
returning from an exciting season at the WA Fringe Festival, Cannibal
Farm will make its home state debut at the Melbourne International
Comedy festival.

MR AL AND MR NICK'S CHILDREN'S HOUR*
A Comedy Festival Show
----------------------------------------------------------------
From the creators of Das Uber Show comes a dark and debonair, yet
disturbingly hilarious journey into the alleyways of childhood. Mr Al &
Mr Nick (along with the delightful Miss Token) invite you to enjoy a
glorious evening of fun and frivolity for all the familyÖespecially hot
single mums!
Since the debacle at the kindergarten and an unfair and damning report
on The Investigators, Mr Al & Mr Nick have been forced to lie low. But
now with litigation clearing and the death of a so-called "Judge", Mr Al
& Mr Nick make their triumphant return in a comedy show that will have
you laughing for at least an hour and screaming "No Mr Nick, not in the
eyes!"
Join them, and their very special friends, for a tormentingly funny
childrenís show? For kids you donít like!
Mr Al & Mr Nicks Childrenís Hour ? Itís like Play School with knives!
