The List Operators
Festival Hub
Eleven reasons to see The List Operators
1. Finally, a show that explains and discusses linguistic theory and the relationship between the signifier and the signified.
2. Really crappy t-shirts that may, or may not, be referencing Flight of the Conchords.
3. A chance to win a prize.
4. If you have never seen the film The Bodyguard, the plot is summarised – so you will never have to see it.
5. You may discover if Matt and/or Richard would shag you.
6. The opportunity to cathartically and publically apologise to someone you once wronged.
7. Juicy fruit puns.
8. Jesus on a ping-pong bat. Oh, Yeah!
9. Learning and applying the phrase ‘swimsuit area’.
10. You can get a present that could help you with Number 3 if you arrive 75 minutes early and also see Nothing Extraordinary Ever Happens in Toowoomba. (Ever.) in the same venue. This show is nothing like The List Operators, but the writing, performance and direction are totally grouse – and you get that helpful present.
11. The List Operators is refreshingly original, surprising and bloody funny. With immaculate comic timing, Matt Kelly and Richard Higgins deftly balance character and personality, as they try to camouflage their intelligence with some really bad props.
Five reasons not to see The List Operators
1. You may discover that Matt and/or Richard would shag you.
2. If you have seen the film ‘The Bodyguard’, you could publically humiliate yourself by quickly recognising the plot.
3. You are recovering from recent abdominal surgery and your doctor has advised you not to laugh in case you burst your stitches.
4. It’s so good, it might sell out.
5. If you find yourself sitting near the front, on the left side of the room, you will see Matt’s arse crack.
