THE BIG HOO-HAA!

THE BIG HOO-HAA!

If theatre and stand up comedy met one night in a smoky bar and after a few drinks found themselves in a compromising position in the back of a clapped out '67 Volks Wagon, the result of this sordid tryst would be The Big Hoo-Haa!

 

The Big Hoo-Haa! is a night of comedy that will help you forget your troubles and have you laughing out loud from start to finish. In the style of "Who's line is it anyway" and "Comedy Sportz", The Big Hoo-Haa! sees two teams of fearless comedians take to the stage to do battle in a competition of wit, humour and bad mime skills in an effort to win the coveted Horse's Arse Trophy. It's a no holds barred race to the punch line. This is an interactive show that uses audience suggestions to create improvised comedy sketches. The show is completely improvised, therefore every performance is wonderfully unique and created just for you!

 

Cut Snake Comedy launched The Big Hoo-Haa! in June 2002 and in the eight years the show has been running it has gained a huge following. The Big Hoo-Haa! crew have performed to thousands of people in Western Australia; as well as their weekly shows at Lazy Susan's Comedy Den they have performed for numerous corporate events including Toyota; BHP Billiton; the Perth Wild Cats; Subiaco's Wild West Comedy Festival; FunnyBrook Comedy Festival and ArtRage Festival. The Hoo-Haa crew includes some of Perth's best stand up comedians and actors working in Radio, Television and Theatre in Perth.

"Quite outstanding-out of the norm for PD and will be very valuable for staff stress. LOVED the Big Hoo-Haa! - loved the humour."

"Sam and his group were the best therapy for stress!"

"Performance after lunch (The Big Hoo-Haa!) was revitalising, ready for session 2."

"The Big Hoo-Haa! was wonderful-very energising and relevant."
