Game Boys Cinematic Universe seemingly combines razor-sharp writing, improvisation, and impressive technology to bring a unique form of comedy to the audience.
Taking heavy inspiration from their family trips to the Gold Coast in the 90s, brothers Eden and Josh have crafted their own version of the Warner Brothers Studio backlot tour, live on stage.
Ararat Rural City Council mayor, Jo Armstrong said Game Boys Comedy brings a unique experience, combining technology and live performance, to the Ararat Town Hall.
"Game Boys Cinematic Universe will be a show full of surprises, nostalgia and technical wizardry that brings movie magic to the stage," she said.
"Theatre enthusiasts will be fascinated by their clever use of props, audience interaction and technology.
"The show has also received numerous awards, including the Sound and Technical Excellence Award.
"Though some of the younger ones may not understand the 90s references - there's plenty of general fun and excitement to the show that will be sure to resonate with the audience."
