The Chaser Quarterly and The Shovel Present The Anti-Experts Guide to Everything

Tuesday 4 May 2021
7.30pm

Rescheduled

As much as Charles and James would love to do the show this year, being locked-down Melbournites, they can’t legally enter the ACT. On the plus side, it’s been a pretty good year for anti-expertise and conspiracy theorists so there will be a whole lot of new material added to the show.

We promise, it will be worth the wait.

The new date and time is Tuesday 4 May 2021 7.30pm.

At the beginning of 2020, The Chaser’s Charles Firth and The Shovel’s James Schloeffel took the Adelaide Fringe by storm in a series of sold out shows, taking the piss out of amateur politicians who don’t know what they’re doing in a crisis and the occasional jab or seven at anti-Vaxxers. Ironically, the tour was hit by a virus.

Luckily, Charles and James managed to hoard enough toilet paper to make themselves very, very, very rich, and so once the troubles have ended, they’ll be returning to the stage, in what is a remarkably prescient comedy tour de force.

Dr Charles Firth (The Chaser) and Prof James Schloeffel (The Shovel) are packing up their healing crystals to go on a tour from one side of this flat earth to the other, presenting one hour comedy lecture all the secrets doctors, scientists and all the other “experts” don’t want you to know.

• How to cure Coronavirus the natural way
• Did you know that climate change graphs look very different indeed if you turn them upside down?
• Have you ever noticed the alarming number of celebrities who have been vaccinated and then later died?
• Did you know that over 99% of people who die in car crashes have eaten sultanas at some point in their life? And yet the government refuses to ban sultanas!

No matter what months of self-isolation has done to your brain, this show will alarm even the most level-headed conspiracy theorist. Charles and James take on topics that others fear to address for fear of looking like a total idiot.
