Straight Outta Compo: How To Get Rich Quick Without Breaking A Leg – Adelaide Fringe Review

Arkaba Hotel – Top Of The Ark, Thu 23 Feb. The world’s most ‘dangerous comedians’, award winning producer Joe Avati, comedy veteran and actor George Kapiniaris, with the actors/writers/comedians best known for their roles in Here Come The Habibs!, Fat Pizza and Housos Rob Shehadie and Tahir join forces with a brand new Joe Avati production Straight Outta Compo. The ‘wogs that made this country great’ perform solo stand-up routines along with a few amalgamated skits centred around the shiftiest, easiest and quickest ways to get cash without lifting a finger, Claim compo!!! Claiming compo equals a house for your family and is so easy to achieve: just stage a car accident then get everyone in your family to lay down and fake their injuries. These hilariously funny guys interact and include the audience at every opportunity. Rob invites two random audience members, one female and one male, to join him on stage and play a game. His guests were then asked to fill in the gaps of his story with sounds or words… improvisation where anything can happen! In their amalgamated skits, the immensely talented, hilariously funny foursome used awesome costumes and accents to enhance their characters, ultimately sending the entire full house audience in to side splitting laughter with every climax. An exceedingly amusing array of jokes and sketches, Straight Outta Compo has to be on your ‘must see’ list at this year’s Adelaide Fringe. 5 stars Belinda James Straight Outta Compo continues at Woodville Town Hall from 8pm until Sat 4 Mar.
