The Cody Rivers Show
The Cody Rivers Show creates kinetic and unpredictable comedy theatre that has amazed audiences and defied description for the past three years.
Pushing the envelopes of dance, music, physical theatre, and intellectually non-derivative high-concept comedy, The Cody Rivers Show delivers unique shows unlike any other comedy act, past or present. In ‘Stick to Glue’ a surreal interface of themes, characters and storylines seamlessly join with breakneck leaps between universes where mysterious rules are always in effect. Unexpected juxtapositions disarm audience expectations and lead viewers deep into absurd realms where laughter is often the only thing that makes sense.
Written and performed by Mike Mathieu & Andrew Connor
