3 OF A KIND PRODUCTIONS: Gravity Boots

GRAVITY BOOTS

‘SNAKES PRETENDING TO BE SEATBELTS’
Directed by Paul Foot (UK)

Last years Talk Fringe Award runners up, Gravity Boots, are a local born comedy group presenting original comedy theatre at it's darkest. Fresh from their Adelaide & Edinburgh Fringe debuts last year, writers & performers, Michael Cleggett & James Lloyd-smith have written a brand new hour of surreal storybook sketches and songs, accompanied by their guitarist, Austin Harrison-Bray. Intelligent writing with that fearless joy you get from young, avant-garde artists who have an abundance of talent, and a fabulously odd sense of humour.

GRAVITY BOOTS AND FRIENDS

Like many great acts before them, Gravity Boots and Friends met at Uni whilst they were all supposed to be studying...

With their course of choice being Creative Arts – Drama, it was no surprise the comedic creative side came to the fore and thus Gravity Boots was born!

Gravity Boots consists of Michael Cleggett and James Lloyd-Smith. ‘And friends’ are pianist Nathan Cox and guitarist Austin Harrison-Bray. Two more friends are Alyssa Mason and Matthew Barker who act and sing.

Michael Clegget tells the Gravity Boots story...

“James and I clicked immediately after writing an off-the-wall radio play about a medieval fair for voice over class. Matt and Alyssa joined in the madness along the way with Nathan and Austin (my brother-in-law) supplying the live music.

'Gravity Boots properly started about a year later when we did a show of sketches and songs, the show was called 'Turn up the radio papa, the rest don't matter'.

The name Gravity Boots was originally a phrase James and I used to yell at people or each other, for reasons unknown to us or others, so it stuck”

Gravity Boots and Friends is unique – being asked to describe it in one paragraph is not easy but we’ve given it a go...

Dark, intelligent, unfettered - Gravity Boots & Friends is a 6 person (4 players, 2 musicians), Adelaide born, comedy group presenting an hour of storybook sketches and songs with high quality writing, explosive performances, and that fearless joy you get from young, avant-garde artists with an abundance of talent and a brilliant sense of humour.

If you’re into clever comedy – something new –like nothing you’ve probably seen before then check them out!
