Happy Chris Morris was more prophet than satirist day to all who celebrate

It’s nine o’clock on a Saturday The unholy thing shambles in He’s too big for the chair sitting next to me His white teeth make a musical din Sing us a song, you’re the piano man Your skin is a wooden facade You’ve brass pedals for hands And your hair’s copper strands Give unbearable insult to god

A little clip from the latest Grifted & Talented! We're hitting the road in April & May: if you're in Sydney, Christchurch, Aackland or Wellington, come along! linktr.ee/griftedandtalented

We had the first Grifted & Talented of the year this weekend and it was an absolute DREAM. The cast brought exactly the right balance of joy and mischief, the crowd were on board, and the format's really starting to hit its stride (and open up new potential). Couldn't be happier.
