Show 24: Aunty Donna: Big Boys

After hearing their comedians comedian episode and seeing members of the facebook page of the podcast heartily reccommend Aunty Donna I saw some of the group's youtube videos, and was enthralled.

This show was big, brash and high-energy. It's a fast-paced hour starting from the three performers repeatedly messing up an opening move on stage for the music drop that never comes to an imagining of an original italian version of a scripted fight to a scene where Broden and Zach are being told off (with a guest appearance from the musical 4th member Tom).

It's an emphatic, loud, thrilling show filled with madness, sweat and silliness galore. It's brimming with childish glee, and moments of corpsing which make the experience all the more entertaining.

There's even an inspired moment where Broden refers to some budget Australian clothing brand in an improvised bit, Zach rolls with it and Broden explains it's because an audience member is wearing that brand - home away from home.

I can't wait for the next time Aunty Donna come over to the UK again.
