Fran and Roxanne - Room for Rent

Welcome!
We've got an all new show coming up for Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2008!
FRAN AND ROXANNE - ROOM FOR RENT
It's not a musical...honest.
Directed by Ged Cogley and written and performed by comedian Lou Pardi and musical theatre sweetheart Jacky Claff, together with supporting cast Liam McIntyre and Anthony Dillon, Fran and Roxanne return in a hilarious and touching sequel to their MICF 2006 show Fran and Roxanne are Best Friends.
Fran and Roxanne are living together! Will the best-friendship survive? Or will a handsome new flatmate and a mysterious tradesman summon the dastardly musical end?
Comedian Lou Pardi and musical theatre sweetheart Jacky Claff (Fran and Roxanne are best friends) return together with special guests Liam McIntyre and Anthony Dillon.
Comedic drama, cleaning rosters, girl fights and singing, but it's not a musical… honest.
Don’t miss all new songs:
“I wanna dream”
“Where is my telephone booth?”
“Like a chair on the foot”
and more! Lovingly created by the fabulous Niamh Parkinson.
“Brialliantly absurd... Fantastic original songs.” The Groggy Squirrel
“Talented performers.” The Funny Tonne
All those details...

Fran and Roxanne and Food - a perfect match
Check out this scrumptious menu at the home of the notorious scantily clad portrait of Chloe, at Young & Jackson.
Roxanne: Food! And a naked lady!
Fran: Together at last.
Roxanne: So when’s dinner?
Fran: There are sittings at 5.30pm, 6.30pm and 7.30pm. The good folk at Chloe’s have it all set up to get us fed in an hour and off to the show!
Roxanne: Genius. Hey! What sound does a Gorgonzola make?
Fran: It’s a cheese.
Roxanne: I knew that.

If you already have a Ticketmaster ticket sadly we can’t turn in into a meal and show (we’re comedians not magicians). But you can turn up at Chloe’s any old time if you want to check out the usual menu (scrumptious). Try the veal!
