Underdogs

Underdogs

Fresh from the success of his one-man show Candy Man and Sydney Festival’s acclaimed Smoke & Mirrors, one of Australia’s true triple threats Wayne Scott Kermond returns to the stage in Underdogs.

Four talented, young, lovable ‘Aussie blokes’ rehearse for and perform a show at impossibly short notice – bringing a special kind of chaos as they endeavor to sort out their ideas, frustrations and personal hang-ups.  

Conceived, co-written by and starring Kermond, Underdogs sits somewhere between a voyeuristic peek into the boys’ locker room and a joyously entertaining, exciting night of song, dance, comedy and vaudeville.

“We’re four musical guys not setting out to change the world – the idea is to hang out together and have a great time. We gotta dance, sing and make entertainment that people really enjoy” says Kermond.

Underdogs is a re-developed, new production of Jive Junkys which premiered at Glen Street Theatre in 1999 and went on to receive Playing Australia funding, which enabled the show to tour extensively throughout 1999 and 2000. It was selected for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2000 and received the much coveted Pick of the Fringe Award.
