House of Ick
Presented by Ginge & Minge
God knows you freaks want 50 mins of sketch comedy… and we’re here to deliver.
House of Ick is bursting at the seams with outrageous characters, c*nty musical numbers, visceral messy sketches, and the best cringe you could hope for.
Ginge & Minge (Nina Hogg & Megan Connolly) serve as your sickening hosts on the road to hot (but disgusting) enlightenment and show you around the wonderful characters that lurk within its shadows. The doors to the House of Ick are open and you WILL be converted.
Delight in their hypothetical kissing doctors, believe in their real life shared pelvic floor physiotherapist, and avert your eyes from (trigger warning) some VERY sexy ringworm.
Prepare for German electronica, monster energy fueled children and 80s power suits.
If you enjoy electric chemistry, drag performance, spectacle, second-hand embarrassment, and just having a good time, this show is for you!!!!!!
