Lano and Woodley

For those who have no idea who these guys are, you have NO idea what you are missing out on. Wiki gives a good outline on what they are about http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lano_and_Woodley

In brief, these guys are comedians who are a huge hit in Australia in terms of entertainment. They even had a TV show that lasted two seasons (Thus explaining why the hell I'm putting this in the TV and Movies section).

Anyway, after 20 years of performing together, this Australian duo has called it quits. I saw their last performance on Saturday and god my face will never be the same again. They give a new meaning to the word "slap-stick", that's for sure

Some people came into the show late, and, unfortunately for them, they were near the front. Lano and Woodley just snapped out at them, ranting about how they missed this spectacular performance of dancing penguins

It is very hard to describe since you need to see a Lano and Woodley performance to know what they do. They have songs, interactions with the audience, improvisation, and the love-hate relationship that they have with each other on stage. The beauty of their live performances is that no two shows are the same. For example, the show I saw in Brisbane had a segment where Woodley went off-stage and blasted Lano, who had stolen the spotlight, with a fire extinguisher. Where as the show in Melbourne had him bashing Lano over the head with a cricket bat (well, I assume that's what happened o_O).

Anyway, has anyone heard of these guys? They really need more recognition...
