House of Ick

House of Ick is a sketch comedy show bursting at the seams with outrageous characters, c*nty musical numbers, visceral messy sketches, and the best cringe you could hope for. Ginge & Minge (Nina Hogg & Megan Connolly) serve as your sickening hosts on the road to hot (but disgusting) enlightenment and show you around the wonderful characters that lurk within its shadows. The doors to the House of Ick are open and you WILL be converted.

“more stimulating than anything playing at the theatre” -The Regional News

Delight in their hypothetical kissing doctors, believe in their real life shared pelvic floor physiotherapist, and avert your eyes from organic Hastings marketplace solutions. Prepare for German electronica, monster energy fueled children and 80s power suits. If you enjoy electric chemistry, drag, spectacle, second-hand embarrassment, or just delighting in a good time, this show is for you!!!!!!

Ginge & Minge are an award-winning queer and high-energy comedy duo from Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington, NZ) who specialise in improv, sketch and audience-interaction comedy. Hot off the heels of national touring, this is their Sydney debut and their third trip over the ditch, previous tours included Adelaide Fringe’s Gluttony and Melbourne Int. Comedy Festival’s Malthouse Theatre with their bogan drag rom-com ‘Jez & Jace: Lads on Tour’.

“Ginge and Minge latch an iron grip onto the audience and refuse to let go” -Wellyott
“Although I would normally be against it, this is one cult I would recommend being indoctrinated into.” – Art Murmurs
“The two delight in the cringe they set up for themselves. They revel in the discomfort with a smile on their faces… ” -Wellyott
