Have you ever been watching a movie at the cinema and wanted to laugh out loud at the diabetic sweetness of a sappy moment? Ever wanted to shout, “THAT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN” during any number of films staring Jason Statham? Ever felt the urge to throw things at the screen in protest? Well now you can (apart from that last one)! Comedy Commentary Cinema have created a place where like-minded folk can congregate to celebrate the joy that is a good bad movie and re-create that living room atmosphere of a night in with friends. A place where the shackles of polite cinema etiquette are discarded as the audience are encouraged to jeer, heckle and participate with the film creating a novel interactive cinema experience. As we know, nothing is as much fun as watching a bad film with friends. Armed only with their wit and their laser pointers the comedians take you on a journey through weak plot lines, terrible dialogue, wooden acting and some of the worst special effects known to man. All while they provide you with a live Blu-ray style commentary just in case you missed the worst bits. Held every two months at the Milk Factory Bar & Kitchen in association with Kristian Fletcher events, each performance sees new comedians giving fresh perspectives on a different “classic” film.
Steven Morgan is stepping down as host of Comedy Commentary Cinema, to be replaced by new host Tim Byrnes!
I’d like to announce that Tim Byrnes will be taking over from me as host of Comedy Commentary Cinema. A year and a half since starting Comedy Commentary Cinema with the enigmatic Kristian Fletcher, I can no longer dedicate the time needed to doing justice to this incredible event, so will be handing over the reins to Tim who will be working with Kristian to put on events in the future.

We take the time to find out "Who is Simone Eclair?"
Simone is not afraid to tell you what she thinks. Her mind is sharp, her wit is quick, and she’s damn funny. When I asked her “With so many talents, how do you describe yourself and what you do?”, she responded
““So many talents” is vague enough to offer faint praise without acknowledging any specific skills- well played.”
In a conversation with Simone, you’d better bring your A-game or it’s not…
Some comedians have a very distinct niche, a specific style which they find ways to make the most of, but limits the scope of what they can achieve. Michael Connell is not one of those. He’s a multi-talented man who juggles multiple styles in his sets ranging from clever wordplay to actual juggling. In his own words.
“I like to just say I’m a comedian. Everything I do is funny, so I think it…
Hey fact fans, or fact curious. With just one week left till the next CCC event, some of you may be wondering what beauty we’ve got in store for you this time. Don’t worry, this post is 100% spoiler free.
Vendetta dal futuro (a.k.a. Hands of Steel, a.k.a. Fists of Steel, Vendetta From the Future and Atomic Cyborg) is a 1986 Italian science fiction film starring Daniel Greene, Luigi Montefiore,…
Brittany White is a big name in the Brisbane impro scene, regularly performing as part of big name events around Brisbane bringing her unique, quick-witted comedy style to anything she’s involved with. She has a certain brand of black comedy to everything that she does which is as ridiculous as it is hilarious. It’s no wonder she was one of three representing Queensland for the Theatresports…
If you Google the name Rimmelzwaan, you get the supposed meaning of “Helpful, Knowledgeul, Shy” from a website called NamesLook. Now, I don’t go out of my way to be cynical, but I’m fairly sure that Knowledgeul isn’t a word and that Googling this has taught me nothing. When it comes to Rimmelzwaan, the only word you need is Luke.
“I was born in Hobart but moved up to Queensland when I was 1, so I…

“You got my radio on? Can you hear me now?” shouted Steve Albini ten years ago, on the epic track “The End Of Radio”.
Fortunately it wasn’t the end of radio and radio is still out there happening all over the place. Everywhere you look there’s a bunch of radio! In the car, on the phone, in the toaster, it’s radio gaga! Someone should write a song about that.
Remember that 1985 film Clue? The one that featured Tim Curry and was based on a board game? “Who in their right minds would base a film on a board game!?” they cried. Little did they know what the future would bring.
Anyway, one-half of our intrepid CCC duo will be performing as part of an ensemble cast bringing said Cluedo board game to life in the immersive theatre extravaganza Cluedo! The…

Everyone loves monkeys, right. Hell, we used to be them! Anyway, as you all know, our next event is A*P*E, a film whose star is a big simian.
As always, we encourage people to dress the part at our events, whether that means going all out as a member of cast or wearing a t-shirt with a monkey on it, that’s entirely up to you.
Well this time we’ve got a little extra incentive. We have three $250…
CCC In The Good Guide! We get ready to monkey about on May 9th! Thanks to The Good Guide for this great write-up about Comedy Commentary Cinema: A*P*E at the new venue - Saccharomyces Beer Cafe!
If you’re at a loose end this evening, then pop along to King George Square where CCC co-founder Steven Morgan (me, I’m writing this in third person) will be taking part in a debate on a yet-to-be-disclosed subject in Act/React‘s Convince Me! which is part of this year’s Brisbane Comedy Festival.
Being an amoral asshole, he (I) will be sure to use the Trumpiest of methods to ensure that facts…
The times they are a-changing, and so are we! Our next event will be at the frankly magnificent Sacchyromeces Beer Cafe in South Brisbane. We would like to thank the Milk Factory for all of their help and support over the last year, and look forward to trying the ridiculously delicious beer selection SBC have on offer.
Our next event will be A*P*E, the 1976 shameless King-Kong rip off which was…
Michelle Azevedo made a name for herself as a comedian pretty much from the moment she graced her first stage. For some people it takes months, years to build up to that point where they’ve got a handle of it, but for a select few it’s the most natural thing in the world right from the get-go. In the few years Michelle has been doing stand up she’s already achieved more than many others could…
“Do I fear death? No, I embrace it” – Ryan Sim, 2017.
You know how some people are so talented in so many ways that just thinking of them makes you sick? Deep down you know you should encourage their way of living and see it as inspirational, but there’s always a part of you that just wants to grab their jowls and shout “Stop being so great at everything, you massive twat!”. Ryan Sim is one of…
