Ballpoint Penguins

Based in Perth

About this act

Original a cappella comedy, sung straight and written sideways. The Ballpoint Penguins build songs around intelligent design, an unhealthy interest in Tupperware, the erotic potential of the household vacuum cleaner, and the problem of adult offspring who will not leave. The harmony is genuinely good, which is what makes the jokes land. If you know your Python, your Tom Lehrer and your Flanders and Swann, you'll recognise the lineage immediately. Based in Perth and playing music festivals right across Australia. Best suited to audiences who like being caught off guard.
