Press Release: World Buskers Festival

SCIRT WORLD BUSKERS FESTIVAL presents:

Moving Stationery
Friday 18 – Saturday 26 January

Moving Stationery is a multi-award winning solo physical comedy created and performed by Thom Monckton.

This comedy of errors revolves around Sigmund, the bewildered recipient of a new office job who is completely out of his depth. Sigmund’s desperate attempts to defend himself against his own mistakes spiral out of control until he is fighting an epic war against a (deceptively) harmless office. The elevator, his lunch and the office stationery seem set to destroy him.

The show combines object and body manipulation with clown theatre to create an energetic and unique piece of physical comedy.

Due to high demand – and the need for a more intimate venue to allow Monckton’s brand of mime to shine – the venue for Moving Stationery has changed to the YMCA Conference Room just up the road from Busker Park.

LISTINGS INFORMATION:
Address: YMCA Conference Room – YMCA Building, Hereford Street
Dates: Friday 18 – Saturday 26 January
Show Info: All Ages
Times: 6pm
There are seats available for all shows from the WBF Bookings Booth in Busker Park on the day of the show from 11am.
Box Office: 03 377 2365

Werewolf: The Complicatist : Lil B, The Based God

Lil B could either be a train wreck or a triumph when he plays in Wellington this month. (The audience chemistry in New Zealand is going to be a complete unknown.) There’s also the setlist question. There is a heck of a lot of Lil B music, and some options are better than others. More>>
