Hot Department

Description

Classification

With 7 live shows and 85 sketches under their (fake leather) belts, Hot Department are celebrating five years of unhinged, high-camp, deeply sexy sketch comedy.

Having performed across 3 continents, 5 countries, and over 30 cities—with a suitcase full of wigs, fake blood and dreams constantly flirting with the baggage weight limit—Honor and Patrick are honouring their comedic legacy with a dazzling night of their greatest hits. Expect a best-of collection from their fan-favourite shows, a few surprises, and maybe even some sketches they swore they’d never do again.

Hot Department have built a cult following in the Australian and international comedy scenes with their chaotic physicality, genre-hopping satire, and queer-as-hell absurdism—opening for the likes of Patti Harrison and Aunty Donna, and shaking up stages from Melbourne to London to New York to Ballarat. Hot Department are ready for world domination…but only if you promise you’re not mad at us.

A festival staple ★★★★

The Age

They walk, so a new breed of fast-paced and ultra-camp comedians can run ★★★★

Time Out

Let’s face it ‘sexy’ and ‘sketch comedy’ rarely go together, but Hot Department are the exception ★★★★
