Flhip Flhop

Rannel Presents. Adelaide Town Hall – Meeting hall, Feb 18 to Mar 12

Despite the unlikely and somewhat obscure setting, nicely smoothed over by a guided arrival, the duo of Matt Bailey and Joey D is dynamite. Mix ing slapstick, beatbox, breakdance, decks and physical theatre, they pull off an hour of fun and lively comic relief.

This is a well-choreographed show, tight and entertaining. As performers, these boys are versatile and have a lot to offer beyond classic comedy routines and a few hip-hop tricks. For starters, they can actually act! An obvious requirement for a theatre performance perhaps, but so often poorly represented in breakthrough artistry.

Their comedy hits the mark; both physically and vocally the Flhip Flhop crew bounce off each other with practiced ease.

This is a great family show, sporting an afternoon time slot and comedy that all ages can enjoy. A small criticism might be that there is almost too much story in the piece, it's slow to get started and you sometimes catch yourself wishing they would shut up and breakdance some more.

Great stuff though, well worth a look.

Rannel Theatre Company and makin projects present Flhip Flhop

Take a whole bag full of classic comedy routines, shake them up and update them for the hip hop age and you have the exhilarating and hilarious Flhip Flhop.

Two painter-decorators are doing a job in a friends flat, but in traditional slapstick manner things go wrong. In a dynamic display of one-upmanship, they compete to out-do each other with moves essentially unchanged from the time of Marx Brothers - hat swapping, leg lifting - and an utterly brilliant police chase acted out to increasingly ludicrous sound effects.

Outrageously talented performers, Matt Bailey and Joey D combine witty dialogue, slapstick, laughter, breakdance, beatbox and Dj'ing to create an energising comedy for all.
