Fresh from a sold out season at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Vigilantelope presents an encore performance of its Golden Gibbo nominated comedic adventure, ‘Tale of the Golden Lease’.

This word-of-mouth phenomenon has been named one of The Pun’s Top 5 not-just-stand up shows of 2009.

Fusing dance, illusion, sketch & song, ‘Tale of the Golden Lease’ is a rollicking romp through Heaven, Hell & everything in between. Fantastical, musical, topical & hysterical, this high-energy epic is as silly as it is cerebral.

The Vigilantelope crew has garnered critical acclaim for its narrative style & a great deal of attention as an emerging force in Australian comedy. “It is hard to avoid the feeling that, watching this performance, you are witnessing the birth of a new generation of comedic actors.” (The Pun, 2009) The team has also been accepted to participate in the prestigious ‘Outside Eye’ mentorship program for the Fringe Festival season.

Forging their own brand of comic storytelling in this irresistible fable, Joel Tito, Vachel Spirason, Pat Miller and Tim McDonald bring to life scores of iconic characters and cement themselves as a group to watch in the new wave of Australian comedy.

“A brilliantly rollicking show that had the audience in hysterics.” The Groggy Squirrel, 2009
