This show belongs to the Adelaide Fringe 2026 season. This season is now over.

Two old men sitting in chairs outside, in front of an old rusty red truck, with a sheep standing next to them. One of the old men is pointing at the viewer. This is not a picture of the comedians, but you wouldn't know that unless you're reading this!

Nanny & Hoot

Two improvising comedians, no script, no plan, no safety net. Improvisors Tony Starr and Richard Bennett create a completely original show live on stage — a blend of drama, comedy, and surprise that unfolds from nothing but their imaginations. Every performance is spontaneous, unpredictable, and entirely unique.

Richard and Tony are long time comedy improvisors from Sydney with a combined 50+ years of improv, comedy, directing and writing experience. They've created numerous comedy shows both together and separately, and have trained hundreds of improvisors to do the same. Having not performed as Nanny & Hoot since 2017, they can't wait to bring their two person Chicago style long form improv show to Adelaide for the first time.
