The Axis of Awesome

 Global musical comedy sensations The Axis of Awesome return to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2014. This year they will be spoiling the beautiful surrounds of Famous Spiegeltent at Federation Square with their unique brand of hilarious musical comedy that has had audiences around the world laughing their faces right off their hinges… Their face hinges.

2014 marks the multi-award winners' sixth MICF season, and this year they will debut their brand new live show, 'Viva La Vida Loca Las Vegas", promising a solid mixture of spanking new tunes and classic Axis hits.

Described by the Herald Sun as 'the new benchmark in musical comedy", The Axis of Awesome launched a brilliant career in 2008 at MICF, earning the 2008 Moosehead Award  and going on to win three Time Out Awards in the Sydney Comedy Festival:  Best Show (2010 & 2011) and Best Australian Talent (2010).   They now regularly perform sold-out shows all over the globe to five star reviews, including The Forum at last year's MICF.

Their video of 'The Four Chords Song" live at the 2009 Melbourne International Comedy Festival has received nearly 30 million hits and is one of the highest rated comedy videos on YouTube. Songs from their 2013 hit show, 'Cry YOURSELF a River" have already received over 2.5 million YouTube hits.

In 'Viva La Vida Loca Las Vegas" the talented trio will deliver more high-energy comedy that will leave you 'in stitches, hooting for an encore" (The Age). It sounds SO good, you'll be lining up to buy their CDs at the end of the show!
