The AUNTY DONNA boys are back and bigger than ever with their BIG BOYS Tour! Having already performed at The Edinburgh Fringe and acquiring a global fan base, the sketch-comedy group have set their sights bigger than just Australia, they're hitting the world.
Performing for their sold-out Adelaide fans at The Arts Theatre as part of The Adelaide Fringe, the trio brought back their awkward humorous style with continuous running gags and the comedic flair Aunty Donna is renown for.
Their show plays a lot with misdirection, huge buildups and strategically placed long silences. It's hard to discern their on-stage personas from their real personalities, I myself don't even think there is a difference, but they way the three bounce off each others energies in an almost improvisational way is an entertaining feat by the group.
Like their past shows, audience participation is always a big hit. The interactivity between those lucky few first row patrons, or the cheekily planted handbag in the audience, connects the doting fans with their performance. The initial applause and excitement that spurred from Aunty Donna entering the stage was present through the entire show, keeping the audience entranced with smiles plastered on their faces from the second those 60 minutes of comedy began.
Aunty Donna classics include Bikie Wars, Aussie Christmas Carol, Found Out I'm Gay, Best Funeral Ever, and Glassing, which I all highly recommend you check out to fully grasp the surreal humour being pumped out daily on their Youtube channel, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter. I don't know how many times I've sat and watched through the plethora of comedy gold they produce, from their Fortnightly Fap Off, to their newest Ripper Aussie Summer series, these boys are here to stay and are quickly on their way to becoming a household name in Aussie comedy.
