They’ve been creating music, travelling the world and breaking hearts for twelve years. Now, it’s time to say goodbye forever. Welcome to the final show of the Fuccbois Farewell Tour (NO encores).

Your favourite heartthrobs, Brendan, Brandon, Tyler and Also Brendan, will pelvic thrust and four-part harmonise their way through their back catalogue just for you (and the 90,000 other people in the audience). Hopefully, everything goes off without a hitch.

Created by ARIA Award-winning writer Bridie Connell, Fuccbois: Live in Concert is directed by Richard Carroll, with choreography by Jamie Winbank and music production by Dave Muratore. The show is a high-octane power hour with non-stop laughter from start to finish.

Bridie, being an artist of many talents, also stars as Brandon. Vidya Makan and Clara Harrison play Brendan and Also Brendan, and the band was completed by Grace Royle as swing for Tyler. (I didn’t even realise Grace was a swing until after the show.)

It’s clear they are tight-knit as a group and have worked incredibly hard to put on a show of this quality. Olya Golgowsky rounds out the cast as the band’s manager, Micaela, clearly on her last nerve after having to deal with the boys and their antics for the last decade.

This show is satire at its finest. Take the concept of a f***boy, set it to a boy band soundtrack, and you’ve got instant comedy gold.

The themes and topics of feminism, the patriarchy, pop culture, toxic masculinity and modern dating culture are handled with all the grace and subtlety one would expect from a Fuccboi.

The choice to have the Fuccbois played by women is incredibly inspired. It adds to the humour and cements it as satire. The audience can truly laugh along, rather than potentially feel uncomfortable with men singing about their own privileges.

Their boy band inspiration is very clear. The British accents (save for the token Irish member) invoke bands like One Direction. Their baggy clothes and very specific dance moves conjure images of classic 90s boy bands like the Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC. And their smooth vocals and clean, crisp harmonies summon memories of Boyz II Men. Their general behaviours and attitudes remind us of the boys that plague our DMs.

The music is indeed as “banging” as advertised. The lyrics are nothing short of genius, with wordplay and puns abound. The music itself, thanks to Bridie and Dave, is so catchy that audience members clapped their hands and danced in their seats.

Songs including Slow Fade, Rich Dad and the Irish folk-inspired Gaslight Shanty will be stuck in your head long after you leave the venue. I was genuinely disappointed to discover that they are not, in fact, a real boy band you can listen to on Spotify. Fingers crossed there’ll be a cast album released in the future!

The boys’ next tour stop will be the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. However, as the Fringe finishes, so too must the Fuccbois’ time in Adelaide. But as they love to say, don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.
