The Listies - This Show is a Joke!

By Rich Higgins and Matt Kelly.

After nearly two decades of seriously silly nonsense, the ever-popular duo are coming back to IPAC for school holiday silliness! Matt and Rich (aka The Listies) have whipped up their most ridiculous show yet — a turbo-charged mash-up of fan favourites, slapstick, songs, and freshlyhatched gags.

Hot on the heels of their brand new joke book (This Book is a Joke, Scholastic 2025) and its anticipated sequel (This Book is a Joke Too, Scholastic 2026), The Listies bring the spirit of the gag page to the stage with chaos, cardboard props, questionable costumes and zero educational value (although, knowing parents, you'll find a teaching moment in there somewhere).

Join the fun, it's a variety show gone bananas.
