AUSTRALIA'S LEADING
SUPPLIER OF CORPORATE & SPECIAL EVENT ENTERTAINMENT
AUSTRALIAN COMEDIANS & MC's
SCARED WEIRD LITTLE GUYS
The Scaredies are John Fleming and Rusty Berther – exceptional
musicians, singers, composers and comedians. Their clever and witty
parodies and versatile style make them one of Australia’s most sought
after acts.
Prior to forming in 1990, the Scaredies performed in various groups,
including the renowned a capella group The Phones. After 10 months of
non-stop shows in Australia, the guys decided to head for North America,
where they did a Canadian Organisation of Campus Activities national
showcase. They have been touring North America regularly ever since, and
have won every major campus comedy award in Canada, the United States
and Australia.
1997 saw the Scaredies make inroads into a new market and onto a new
continent when they debuted in the UK by performing to thunderous
applause at London’s “Jongleurs” comedy venue and then in the
prestigious Assembly Rooms for the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. They
quickly became Fringe favourites and the darlings of the Edinburgh radio
circuit, returning in 1998 to a sellout season.
On home ground, the guys are a regular highlight of the Melbourne
International Comedy Festival, Adelaide Fringe Festival, Auckland Fringe
Festival and Melbourne International Festival of the Arts.
Changing Repertoire
Never content to rest on their laurels, the Scaredies are always looking
to expand their repertoire. Last year’s Melbourne Comedy Festival saw
them reach new heights with their show “Score” which featured the
Scaredies with a 90 piece orchestra and a 200 voice choir! The show’s
highlights were re-workings of Scaredies’ old favourites with full
orchestral backing, with musical arrangements by John himself! Needless
to say, it was an impressive spectacle, and has since been performed
with the New Zealand and Tasmanian Symphony Orchestras. Later this year
the boys will perform with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, and an
extensive Australian and New Zealand tour is booked for 2000.
The Scaredies have released four CD’s. Their album, ‘Scared’, was
nominated for an ARIA Award.
The guys are regular guests on all major television and radio variety
shows.
