Featuring
The Court Jesters
Late every Friday and Saturday night, the lights go out at The Court Theatre and The Court Jesters take over... bringing you Scared Scriptless.
Scared Scriptless has been running strong for 28 years. It's a late night improvised show where the wit of stand up, the exhilaration of theatre and the danger of not knowing what’s happening all collide in a glorious, theatrical mess. It’s one part cheeky, one part dangerous and all parts hilarious.
Sit back and enjoy the comedy... or get involved by shouting out suggestions to inspire the improvisers. No matter your involvement, Scared Scriptless will have you doubled-over in laughter.
Scared Scriptless. You have to see it, and once you see it, you’ll want to come back.
Scared Scriptless, Late-night Classic Comedy, Friday and Saturday nights, 10:15pm.
BASE @ The Court are now serving pizza before the show!
*Please Note: No hot food is allowed in the theatre.

Scared Scriptless: Bad Boys vs. Dream Team
On Saturday 18th August two classic Court Theatre comedy pairs will be vying for the title of greatest improv duo in a special performance of Scared Scriptless: Bad Boys vs. Dream Team.
Robbie Hunt and Jared Corbin’s Holden and Clutch are the bogan Bad Boys of the show; Westies with an existential twist.
“The Bad Boys are bogans, but there’s also this ‘theatre of the absurd’, Samuel Beckett nature to them in that they’re really stupid – but also really philosophical. So even though the characters are ridiculous, it’s really quite magical,” Dan Bain, Artistic Director of The Court Jesters says.
Going up against the bogan Bad Boys are Criss Grueber and Brendon Bennetts’ Dream Team, inspired by the dream manipulators in Inception.
The Dream Team use audience members’ dreams to create comedy magic – whether it be turning a good dream into a bad one or interpreting recurring nightmares.
Both teams are wildly different and unbeaten in Scared Scriptless’ history, which is why Bain is so eager to throw them together.
“It’s chaos versus order – we’re going to pit them against and each other and see what happens.”

Scared Scriptless: Birthday Bash
Like an orphan washed up from a shipwreck to the shores of a strange land, Scared Scriptless isn’t one hundred percent sure on which date is its actual birthday. However we’re pretty sure it happens every year and this year to celebrate twenty eight years of Scared Scriptless we’re having a little party.
As we are hilarious but socially inept the only way we know how to have a party is by putting on a show. A show where the most people possible attend, which means that for our birthday weekend we’re bringing the fun and chaos of Late night Scared Scriptless to the more accessible bedtime start of 8pm. Ok fine, ALL tickets are only $15 as well. Please come to our party. -
