BATS Theatre, Wellington
From 12 Jan to 21 Jan 2006
Testflight show 18 December 2005
Classic comedy made up before your ears! The All-New Old-Time ‘Radio Show!’ is a totally improvised comedy show in the style of the golden age of radio, created and performed by leading improvisers from the Wellington Improvisation Troupe (WIT) (winners of the New Zealand Fringe Festival Best Comedy Award 2003).
Using only the technology of the era, WIT’s radio players will take you back to a surreal summer of 1930 and a simpler time of stories, songs and standard King’s English. This kiwiana variety show will vary every evening, and be completely unscripted and based entirely on suggestions from the BATS ‘live studio’ audience.
Featuring:
Radio actors: Nicola Hill, Ryan Hartigan, Simon Smith, Peter Hodgson
Sound FX: Anton Van Helden and Richard Samaeli
Musician: James Burgess
Studio supervision: Paul Sullivan, Kirsten Price.
The show was the first theatre performance in Wellington captured as a podcast!
