Melbourne Fringe Festival Focus: Rent (is due)

Answered by: The Astruds — Freya Long and Sarah Wall

Describe your show in a tweet? Think Flight Of The Conchords meets Broad City. A cabaret about fighting post uni/pre-career limbo and coming to terms with the responsibility of being an adult.

Who will your show appeal to? Rent (is due) would appeal to anyone who has lived in a share house and who hasn't been sure what the next step in life is. Also, if you like harmonies, this show is for you.

What's your creative process? How do you develop your ideas? Our ideas often come from a personal experience one, or both of us, has had. We try to find the humour in that situation and come up with ideas for song styles and lyrics that do justice to that subject.

What will make you stand out in the Fringe crowd? As musicians, we are interested in genre and how that affects the subject of a song. We wanted to explore how genre is used and applying comedy to each one has been a cool experiment.

When and where is your Fringe show? 13 - 18 Sep, The Butterfly Club, 5.30pm.
