When

Event Status

There are two session times available for this workshop: 11am-12pm and 2pm-3pm. You will be prompted to select your session when booking your tickets.

Sensible young people: turn away now. This event is not for you. Australia’s silliest kids’ comedians, the Listies, are coming to the Wheeler Centre for an event that’s rated ‘S’ for ‘stupid’.

What are the definitions of ‘spewtiful’, ‘alphaburp’ and ‘zinkelgritting’? The Listies will present answers to these perplexing questions.

Expect terrible toilet humour, bizarre flights of fancy and LOLs audible from Lapland.
