Matty Grey (Canberra Comedy Festival) Game on 2.0

Canberra Comedy festival plays host to a number of well known (and less well known comedians). Within the list of acts there's usually a small number suited for kids and this year we were lucky to catch Matty Grey.

His show 'Game on 2.0' was a combination of slapstick and kids jokes mostly focused around games or video games and my kids loved both the topic and the content.

Matty's show relied heavily on audience participation. At certain parts you were required (as an audience) to get out of your seats and dance. He actively encouraged heckling and people who didn't play along were summarily punished for being bad sports.

In the intimate surroundings that is Canberra Theatre courtyard theatre it was impossible to get away with not taking part - there's literally nowhere to hide. Audrey was picked out of the audience to take part in an 'Operation' simulation which was pretty funny.

It was an enjoyable way to spend an otherwise lazy Sunday afternoon.
