Kids review: The Listies ROFL

What happens in the show?

Bedtime. It was all about bedtime. No, Jack and the Beanstalk! Jack’s in it. They tell the story of Jack and the Beanstalk. It’s funny! They sing. They pee on everyone! 

What did you like most about the show?

When they peed on everyone! That was funny. And the lullabies. When they died in the end [laughs]. And Twinkle Twinkle Little Star was really noisy and I loved that. It was like disco at bedtime. 

Was there anything you didn’t like?

No. 

What did your grown-up think about the show?

It’s set in Rich and Matt’s house at night time. There’s a full moon which is actually a picture of a bum! Much hilarity ensues. Rich is the ‘grown up’ trying to keep things on track and Matt is the child being as annoying and disruptive as possible. There’s lots of silly toilet humour, peeing on the crowd (squirting people with water pistols), a song and dance about brushing teeth, Jack and the Beanstalk story and a bedtime lullaby. Rich’s frustration is very relatable for the parents, and Matt being annoying is very relatable for the kids. 

Would you tell your friends to go to the show?

[A long pause] What would you say? I’m not sure...

[Another pause] Yes! One of my friends was there! Roo was there. And Noah was there too.
