After years of turning their everyday squabbles into epic adventures, Australia’s favourite comedy duo blast off with a cosmic new show full of side-splitting fun, idiocy and intergalactic bickering.
Lano & Woodley are all alone on a spaceship. Or are they? Commander Col is focused on their important mission. Co-pilot Woodley… isn’t.
Once again, Frank and Colin have found themselves light years out of their depth, taking on a journey that’s far bigger than their tiny ship (and even tinier brains) can handle. Will Col keep the mission on course, or will Woodley’s endless distractions send them spinning into a black hole of disaster?
From the duo behind some of Australia’s most celebrated comedy shows, Lano & Woodley In Space promises an hour of classic Lano & Woodley – part sublime, part stupid and all heart. With their trademark mix of chaos and charm, Frank and Colin continue to prove why they remain two of the country’s most beloved and enduring comedians.
“Lano and Woodley in space will definitely be our best show yet, with no mistakes or missteps. Definitely.” Colin Lane
“I’m so lucky that Col has written this wonderful play. This time I’m definitely going to read it. Definitely.” Frank Woodley
Lano (Colin Lane) & Woodley (Frank Woodley) came together in 1986 as two parts of a three hander called The Found Objects. When three became two in 1994, they became Lano & Woodley for a show at Melbourne’s tiny Carlton Courthouse. That show went on to win the prestigious Award for Best Comedy in Edinburgh, making Lano & Woodley only the second Australian act to take out the award. They returned home to full houses and a TV show co-produced with the ABC and BBC.
