The Axis of Awesome return to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2010 with a new rock comedy hour of power.
Jordan Raskopoulos, Lee Naimo and Benny Davis make up this politically sharp and hyper-comical trio.
The Moosehead award winners at the 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Axis of Awesome will be presenting their Infinity Rock Explosion! at the Melbourne Comedy Festival Melbourne in March.
Jordan, Benny and Lee have been busy over the past year, performing to sell out crowds across the world, including the Sydney Comedy Festival and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival.
Raskopoulos secured his first nation-wide audiences in The Ronnie Johns Half Hour.
As Pauli, (aka Raskopoulos) the master of the malapropism would say, ‘being the Devil’s avocado’, NKEE asked him if Axis of Awesome is not a disguise for some unfulfilled deeper urge to be a rock star?
“No, comedy was always the passion and the focus for me, the band took off after my comedy, it was about trying a new thing.”
If you don’t laugh until your jaw aches and you’re clutching your sides begging them to stop then I have no polite way to finish this sentence.
