Bombastic JOE have laced up their trotters and are ready for their fourth run at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival!

After an unexplained two-year hiatus from the MICF, Jon, Oli, and Ed have repeatedly and aggressively banged their heads together to produce another high-energy, genre-bending barrage of sketches. This year the JOE boys return as their loveably flawed stage personalities, quickly and seamlessly guiding the audience from sketch to sketch while enthusiastically doing everything they can to make the audience enjoy the show (please).

‘That’s not what I ordered, you clearly didn’t listen to me.’ sees the boys fluster and flounder under the overwhelming pressure of hosting a comedy sketch show. The boys will stray even further from the conventional, seeking to subvert the audience’s expectations by playing with tension, repetition, pacing, timing, sound and, of course, repetition.

This show will be perfect for fun-loving audiences who are looking for an absurdist sketch show that will see them laugh until they cry or cry until they laugh. Bombastic JOE extends a warm welcome to loyal fans, daring newcomers and anyone interested in a sharply written and performed sketch show.

Catch ‘That’s not what I ordered, you clearly didn’t listen to me.’ from at 8:30pm 2nd-7th of April at The Grace Darling Hotel!

For their previous shows at the MICF, Bombastic JOE has received lustrous reviews including from Tay Around Town (4/5 stars) and Subculture (5/5 stars).
