Aussie comic duo out for fun without the moral lesson

The List Operators for Kids have taken Australia by storm and are now preparing to face the Fringe with a show that dares to be funny, energetic, rude and absolutely 100% not educational in the slightest.

Double act Matt Kelly and Richard Higgins are set on a comedy that’s simply fun and not trying to push a moral lesson. ‘We’re more into the idea that we can do a really, really entertaining show for kids,’ says Kelly, ‘and not try and talk down to them and not have to teach them stuff.’

Using lists to kick-start the humour (of boring and not boring animals, of words people call their Nan, the list goes on … ) the show aims to get a giggle from young and old alike. ‘We want everyone to have a good time,’ says Higgins, and with a target age range of ‘five to 500 million’ they really do mean everyone.

Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, 7–31 Aug (not 17), 2.30pm, £9 (£8). Previews 4-6 Aug, 2.30pm, £5.
