Banana (n) - Burlesque term
for a house comic, probably derived from the description of
anything crazy as "bananas." The "top banana" was the head
comic, the "second banana" would fill in where needed, the
"third banana" would be assigned to stooge duty, taking
falls and getting pies in the face.
Rama (suffix)
- A spectacular display or instance of what is indicated
(i.e. BananaRama!)
Get ready folks! Pop on your glad rags and get set for a night of comedy, burlesque and frivolity! Hailing back to the burlesque shows of old, where burlesque beauties and comical comedians shared the stage, BananaRama is here to put the fun back into funny and show everyone a good ol’ time. Featuring some of NZ’s best vaudeville talent, a three piece live jazz band and laughs to boot, BananaRama will raise the roof of Uxbridge Creative Centre and shake out those chills on a cold, winters night.
