Spicks and Specks Reunion Special

Australia's favourite music quiz returns for a one hour Reunion. Join Adam Hills, Myf Warhurst, and Alan Brough for some favourite games, surprises, and lots of laughs.
Hannah Gadsby: Nanette
Director
The Australian comedian Hannah Gadsby is taking an anti-comedy stance in her newest special.
Tom Ballard: The World Keeps Happening
Co-Director
What’s the deal with man’s inhumanity to man? This is an hour of dynamite stand-up about how everything is sinister and confusing and on the verge of collapse. Tune in and have a good old-fashioned laugh about it while you still can.
Hannah Gadsby: Mrs Chuckles
Director
Hannah doesn’t smile much and she laughs even less. For a comedian, that’s a bit like being a Transformer who doesn’t fancy driving. But don’t let that deter you. There is great pleasure to be had in laughing at her. Barry Award-nominated for Best Show at the 2011 Melbourne Comedy Festival (where she had to be moved to a bigger venue following ticket demand) and for Best Comedy at the prestigious 2011 Helpmann Award, Mrs Chuckles is a tale of mild success and utter failure told in a manner of vague indifference and total incredulity. It is mostly funny and only fleetingly offensive.
Judith Lucy: Nothing Fancy
Director
Judith Lucy is one of Australia's most popular comedians with a career spanning more than 20 years. She sprang to national prominence in 1993 when she joined the cast of ABC TV's The Late Show, her television appearances since then have been many and varied, but ABC TV's 2011 season of Judith Lucy's Spiritual Journey represents her first solo TV project. A best-selling author, her work in radio, television and film, and her sell-out national live tours have made her a household name. In this episode of Warehouse Comedy Festival she will perform her recent smash hit show, Nothing Fancy. This is Judith at the top of her game - no singing, no dancing, just good old-fashioned gags.
Dave Hughes Is Handy
Director
The only thing Dave Hughes is handy for is a laugh, which is handy given he calls himself a comedian. Hes made a handy name for himself on radio and TV as a funny man but live on stage is where Hughesy began (& continues to shine). Whats handy for you is that hes recorded his latest sell out show for you to watch from the comfort of your couch. DVD extras include an intimate club gig and candid at home footage of Hughesy and family.
Vodafone Live At The Chapel
Director
The Dandy Warhols, Ben Lee, Stereo MCs, Pete Murray and the host of local and international musical luminaries whave graced the stage for this season's Vodafone 'Live at The Chapel'. It's the special charge that pulses through a room when musicians, their music and the audience connect in an intimate way - and it's all documented here. Vodafone 'Live at The Chapel' is an event that's always been about getting you closer to the music, and the people who are making it. What makes it work every time? Maybe it's the unique surrounds of the little bluestone chapel that gives the series its name. Or the red beanbags littering the front of the stage. Maybe the punters, most of whom can't believe their luck at being this close to their musical heroes. Or maybe it's the artists themselves, freed of stadium theatrics, and digging deep into their songs for an invited audience of true believers.
Tripod Tells the Tale of the Adventures of Tosswinkle the Pirate (Not Very Well)
Director
Join Scott, Yon and Gatesy as the attempt to tell a very simple story and fail miserably. Comic and Musical Geniuses the may be, but whoever let them near a theatre should have thought it through.
