Ben McCarthy

Cadet Kelly is the Best Movie I've Ever Seen in my Friggin Life

  • Australia

Nominated for Best Comedy: Melbourne Fringe Festival 2024

HAVE YUO SEENTHIS MOEVIE???

Day and night my mind is ablaze with the 2002 Disney Channel Original Movie, Cadet Kelly. My sleep schedule has been INTERRUPTED. I know what you're thinking, "I don't know this movie". That's fine, take a seat and let me let you know what you don't know. People are sleeping on this and it's time to be VIOLENTLY SHAKEN AWAKE
 

Three Judge's Picks, Melbourne Fringe Festival 2024

"Whether you're a fan of the movie or have never seen it, this is a must-see show!" Fringe Comedy Judge

"I have no idea what I just watched, but my cheeks hurt from laughing, and I want to see it again. A fever dream in the best way." Fringe Comedy Judge

"So silly and absurd - very nostalgic in the best ways!" Fringe Comedy Judge
 

Audience comments:

‘Utterly balls to the walls bonkers in every way imaginable. Delightfully manic.’ Ryan

‘Ben has complete control of his audience, it's a wonder to watch a master at work. This show is hilarious and ridiculous, it's a treat.’ Eliza

‘No one else is doing this kind of nuanced but absolutely bonkers absurdism. Ben is masterful with the audience and has no fear. Its amazing. GO.’ Sophie

‘Ben McCarthy is ridiculously entertaining & his show is face achingly hilarious. It cannot be explained, it just needs to be experienced. By everyone.’ Amanda
