About this show
HAVE YUO SEENTHIS MOEVIE?! Day and night my mind is ablaze with the 2002 Disney Channel original movie, Cadet Kelly. My sleep schedule has been INTERRUPTED. People are sleeping on this movie and it's time to be violently shaken awake! A high intensity clown show, hyperbolically looking at obsessive culture and Disney fanatics. Nominated for best comedy – Melbourne Fringe Festival. 'A standout slice of silliness' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Ben McCarthy's particular brand of Hi-NRG clowning makes for a truly deranged hour' (Age).

CADET KELLY IS THE BEST MOVIE I’VE EVER SEEN IN MY FRIGGIN LIFE has to be seen to be believed. If you love to ache with laughter, come out in a daze from the madness you have witnessed and want to experience something…
— Get The Chance (5 out of 5 stars)
I left with many crazy sound bites burned into my brain and a respect for the originality and artistic quality of the work.
— The Student (4 out of 5 stars)
Ridiculous, niche and proudly committed to the bit, this is Fringe silliness in its purest form.
