Late to My Own Party at the End of the World
Two actors, two comedy plays, too much Apocalypse to handle. It’s the night before the day after tomorrow, and the end of the world has never been so much fun! Hannah Bath and Ellen O’Connor, on opposite sides of a cataclysmic event, explore loss, community, relentless optimism, and what makes us laugh when everything is all a bit... shit.
Hannah Bath: At the End of the World
It’s 25 minutes until the end of the world... and you’re invited to the farewell soiree! In this funny and poignant immersive experience, Hannah Bath (Utopia, The Clearing, Secret Bridesmaid’s Business, Open Slather) invites you to join her in commemorating the world as we knew it and celebrating our places and memories within it. Put on your party threads and get ready to laugh, sing and toast the beautiful world-that-was as the clock inexorably ticks down.
Ellen O’Connor: Late to My Own Party
In an underground bunker, a stand-up comedian tries to revive their set from before the Apocalypse. Will safety protocols, rationing issues, and the looming threat of extinction hamper our ability to have a good laugh? Will the audience agree to take turns on the stationary bike to power the stage lights and sound? And do aeroplane food jokes still land?
Produced in association with Quiet Roar for Melbourne Fringe Festival, 2023.

The Bald Soprano (2016)
It’s a proper British cocktail party, but nothing is going according to plan. Mrs and Mr Martin don't recognise each other, the Smiths' doorbell keeps ringing, and the maid mysteriously disappears. As London burns and the flames flicker higher, the ability to communicate and comprehend is crumbling too...
In equal parts witty and silly, with a splash of slapstick, this classic play from the Master of the Absurd is a dark, crackingly funny excursion into the limits and denial of language and logic. Directed by Kara McLaughlin, produced by Hannah Bath, featuring Liam Nunan, Hannah Bath, Richard Cornally, Sarah Farmer, Michael Gosden, and Nell Nakkan.

"The darkest, sharpest and edgiest all-new material from Sydney’s longest-running regular live sketch comedy group, compressed into a fast-paced hour of criminally comical genius.
Following their critically-acclaimed ’08 and ’09 Festival appearances, repeat offenders Comicide present two new shows in 2010, each for two weeks only. It's a veritable crime wave of comedy!"
