This manic Australian double act knows all the right buttons to push to make children shriek with laughter. The Guardian

The Listies present The Listies 6D* (*That's twice as good as 3D!)

20 February 5:30pm - 5:55pm Brisbane Powerhouse - Powerhouse Theatre Theatre 25-min Excerpt Children / Primary

A comedy show for kidults (kids and their adults!) rated S for Stupid

The award-winning Listies star in 6D, a kids comedy show all about the movies. Expect haunted backpacks, ninja nans, toilet paper guns and an actual movie made at every performance of the show.

Rather than talk down to children, The Listies create an interactive atmosphere to tell stories set in the world of kids, parodying pop culture, celebrity, parents, computer games and txt speak. Their shows are stuffed full of highbrow things that kids really love (like fart jokes and vomiting) to ensure audiences of all ages laugh as many times as they can. Yep, the silver screen is about to get brown.
