Lano & Woodley are all alone on a spaceship. Or are they? Commander Col is focused on their important mission. Co-pilot Woodley … isn’t. One thing is for sure, when Frank and Colin launch into space, the stage will come alive with an hour of sublime, inventive and ridiculous comedy.
Filled with their virtuosic physical routines and hilarious love/hate bickering, Lano & Woodley in Space is side-splitting fun to infinity and beyond. Join Australia’s favourite comedy double act for the Space adventure to possibly end all Space adventures.

Lano (Colin Lane) & Woodley (Frank Woodley) came together in 1986 as two parts of a three hander called The Found Objects. When three became two in 1994, they became Lano & Woodley for a show at Melbourne’s tiny Carlton Courthouse. That show went on to win the prestigious Perrier Award for best comedy in Edinburgh, making Lano & Woodley only the second Australian artists to take out the award. They returned home to full houses and a TV show co-produced with the ABC and BBC. Their live shows are revered by audiences and critics alike, setting the standard and inspiring generations of Australian comedians.

While the show appeals to virtually everyone with a pulse, a Lano and Woodley show is written with adults in mind. There is some coarse language in the show (including the f word) and broadly the show is most appropriate for those over 15 years of age, however if you don’t mind your child hearing swear words then younger children could come along although children under the age of 15 should be accompanied by an adult. There is some mild violence (comedic) and some tickling. There is plenty of visual material that will appeal to younger audience members.Notes:
