Went Sunday 12th 3PM Brisbane.
Could not stand the show and left at intermission.
Clearly these two have little comedy talent when they resort to jokes about female parts, ridiculing the paying viewers and playing large quantities of videos.
The seating was dreadful as most seats were on a flat floor with hundreds of heads to peer through.
Such a waste of money!

Convention Centre Brisbane too big and impersonal for this type of show. The sound was dreadful we could hardly hear the live dialogue and what a shame we couldnt see the girls faces which is half their comedy. Why not utilise the screens on either side of the stage. Very disappointing for a very expensive outing.

I think these two ladies are great commediennes, however I was extremely disappointed with the show where what was done live had all been done before - nothing new and definately not worth the ticket price. I expected some new jokes - might as well have rented a video.

A waste of time and money, I'm afraid. A disappointment when I have enjoyed so much of their work in the past. This was self-indulgent and boring for the audience and the Brisbane Convention Centre was a dreadful venue.

Saw the Melbourne show on the 18th @ the Palais. FAN-FRICKEN-TASTIC! was such a thrill seeing them live there in person. the crowd seemed to be really into it and it was a great vibe throughout. The only sketch i thought was a little bit flat was the country animal thingie but all in all - it was bloody brilliant. Did the people who found it self indulgent and smutty or whatever else come based on seeing the Vicar of Dibley and Ab Fab only? Perhaps you have never seen their work as a team?? Cause all they were doing was the best of their work over the years and it was spot on (great seeing it in live action in front of you) - classic F&S stuff.

Well done you lovely ladies and thanks for bringing the show to us. Perhaps a bad choice of venue for Brisbane soured things a little? The Melbourne show was heaps of fun. would see it again if there were tickets left.

went last night in Melbourne, thought it was hilarious and brilliant to see these two funny ladies doing there stuff. Great to see all the old characters that we know so well and laughed from beginning to end, money well spent on a great night out.

A total waste of money.
Laughed more at the video clips played which were from the TV show anyway.
Waste of $300. They made no effort.
I can understand why they wont tour again..

With great expectation we went to see the show last night. Ready to kick back and be entertained by 2 comedy screen heros. So disappointed! There were many times we just simply did't get the joke. Many times they mentioned their 30 year working relationship, with that many years together you might expect more!! Don't waste you money. we would have been better off enjoying more martinis at the Stokehouse!!

We saw last nights show and found it boring, lazy, predictable and generally very unfunny. We paid $320 for two tickets and tried very hard to enjoy the show, but to no avail! Sheer disappointment. What a shame they even bothered to make it to Australia, as this is how I'll remember them!

Saw Dawn and Jennifer today. Brilliant show - money well spent and enjoyed all the work and effort they put into it.
Would have loved to have the opportunity to meet them personally.

Saw them on Monday night in Melbourne... loved the girls but very very disappointed in the who production of the event... Very cheaply done considering the $159.00 ticket price tag... Sets looked like they had just purchased from IKEA before the show... I'm hoping it was the venue that took the bulk of my $159 and not the very talented comedians.

My daughter and I are huge fans of the girls and were soooooooooooooothrilled to see them in the flesh. How we wish that this would be like the last tour for John Farnham and NOT be the last. Love you girls.
