DoubleBooked – Pantsguys
Two comedians booked for the same venue on the same night. What could possibly go wrong?
Overview
Sydney Comedians Alistair Wallace and Tim Reuben are heading to the Old Fitz to perform their stand-up on the same night as each other. In the same venue. On the exact same stage. A double booking? Oh no. Don't worry, though, as this very deliberate coincidence provides the premise for their enjoyable double-act stand-up show, DoubleBooked.
This 'mistake' allows the duo to compete for laughs, stage time and the approval of the audience over the course of the show, which comes to Sydney in its polished final form after successful sell-out runs at the 2012 Sydney Fringe and recent Adelaide Fringe Festival. The two have comedy credentials as well, with Alistair a founder of the thriving UNSW comedy scene and Tim a former RAW state semifinalist.
Surely they will fire their seemingly incompetent manager after allowing this booking debacle to happen again, so see it while you can.
