If you love or hate the Police Force you will have a great night out with Matt Byrne's 2012 Fringe comedy P.I.G.S. - People Of Integrity & Guts. The four-hander comedy is set in Prospect Hump, Australia's Least Violent Police Station. You'll meet Senior Sergeant Barry Bottler, Senior Constable Craig Magnum, Constable Julie Bitumen and Probationary Mature Rookie Recruit Nigel Crapper. Into their humdrum world comes Inspector Watter Knob from English Yard, who's been recruited to show the Aussies how to handle Community Policing. We all know what a great contribution Great Britain has made to our local force. Police will love the show and the public will have a huge laugh at the constabulary's expense. We may not all love the police but we'd be a lot worse off without them. The four actors, Matt Byrne, Njal Venning, Ali Crew and Brendan Cooney will everyone you're liable to meet at a Police Station, from crims to regulars, random breath guests, Neighbourhood Watchers, snouts to dopey dealers, happy hookers, reporters, dobbers and watch out for the Gang of Four to Nine (They don't know how many members they've got!). There's song and dance as well as the odd serious moment as we take the mickey out of our Boys and Girls in Blue. Matt Byrne has written and presented world premiere comedies at Maxim's Wine Bar at Norwood since 1998. From Bouncers (1998) and Shakers (2000), Matt has adapted the style and has created Barrackers (2002), Virgins (2004), Pricks (2006), Chalkies (2008), and WAGS - Wives & Girlfriends (2011). Chuck in Over The Hill (2005), Caddyshack & Other Dangerfields (2009) and The Penis Principles (2010). P.I.G.S. - People Of Integrity & Guts is the latest and liveliest, so grab a ticket quick - it'd be a crime to miss it!
