CIRQUE DU CHASER
NATIONAL TOUR
Winner Best Intermission, Best Usher 2005
Friday 5 August 2005: After sell-out seasons at the Sydney Big Laugh and Adelaide Cabaret Festivals, the team behind the ABC TV series CNNNN and The Chaser Decides to embark on their first national tour. Their stage show, Cirque Du Chaser will astound audiences in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle, Wollongong, and Canberra this September/October.
Delivering their political satire in the form of stand up comedy, sketch, live music, and video, the double-Logie award winning team returns to their roots and gets back to what theatre is really about: abusing arts grants.
“The show actually has nothing to do with Cirque du Soleil”, said Julian Morrow. “We certainly won’t be doing amazing acrobatics or have high production values. But it will be incredibly pretentious and ridiculously over-priced, so there’s a link there I guess.”
Cirque du Chaser has already been critically well received. "Simply brilliant," Advertiser reporter Rebecca Harrington said after watching a rehearsal. "Cirque du Chaser” is the funniest show I've seen since I was invented for publicity purposes."
The Chaser began as a fortnightly satirical newspaper in 1999 and is now published online at .au. The team has also gone on to recycle material in a number of other media such as books (The Chaser Annual), radio shows (Chris Taylor and Craig Reucassel host Triple J’s drive show) and television series. After 2004, the team has two Logies: a silver one for Most Outstanding Comedy (tied with Kath & Kim) and a gold one, which they stole from Rove.
“The Chaser is now a satirical media empire which rivals Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp in all fields except power, influence, popularity and profitability,” said Julian Morrow, “so the move into small-scale live theatre is a logical one for us.”
The team plans to deal with the transition to live stage performance by using the same technique that made their TV shows so popular. "We're getting Kath & Kim” to do a show immediately before ours" said Morrow.
