ABC's THE CHASER NATIONAL TOUR (1 Viewer)

[Laughing stock]

Hey guys,

I noticed there was a Cirque du Chaser thread below, so I came to post the exciting news that the Chaser boys are doing a national tour of their show Cirque Du CHaser. Thanks to everybody who came to the first show. You're the reason we're doing this tour

So, here's the goss:

After sell-out seasons at the Sydney Big Laugh and Adelaide Cabaret festivals, the team behind the ABC TV series CNNNN and The Chaser Decides are embarking on their first national tour, bringing their stage show, Cirque Du Chaser to audiences in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, and Canberra this September/October.

Delivering their political satire in the form of stand up comedy, sketch, live music, and video, the double-Logie award winning team returns to their roots and gets back to what theatre is really about: abusing arts grants

“The show actually has nothing to do with Cirque du Soleil”, said Julian Morrow. “We certainly won’t be doing amazing acrobatics or have high production values. But it will be incredibly pretentious and ridiculously over-priced, so there’s a link there I guess.”

Cirque du Chaser has already been critically well received. "Simply brilliant," Advertiser reporter Rebecca Harrington said after watching a rehearsal. "Cirque du Chaser is the funniest show I've seen since I was invented for publicity purposes."

The team plans to deal with the transition to live stage performance by using the same technique that made their TV shows so popular. "We're getting Kath & Kim to do a show immediately before ours" said Morrow.

We report, you believe.

Yeah the majority of chaser fans are students in high school and uni. I found this site by googling the chaser, and found guys here talking about the show we did back in March so that's why I put up the post.
