The Axis of Awesome

The Axis of Awesome are The World’s Most Awesomest Comedy Band. In the incredible time that they have been together, they have done literally so much stuff. They have blown audiences away around the world, including the prestigious invite-only Montreal Just for Laughs Festival and four sold out seasons at the world’s largest arts festival, the Edinburgh Fringe.

Their latest show received multiple 5-star reviews in it’s season at the Edinburgh Fringe in August 2012, which they followed with their third tour of Sweden in as many years. They were described as “a superbeast of high energy, high impact comedy” (chortle.co.uk). They have also sold out seasons at the Adelaide Fringe and Cabaret Festivals, the Sydney and Melbourne International Comedy Festivals, the Sydney Opera House, Perth Fringe World and the Singapore Flipside Festival.

Not content with breaking box offices around the world, they’ve also smashed internet records – their Four Chord Song is one of the highest rated comedy videos of all time on YouTube, and their YouTube videos have received over 60 million hits. They have multiple TV appearances in Australia and globally, and their latest album “Christmawesome” is a hit with audiences worldwide.

They recently picked up the Time Out Award for Best Australian Act at the Sydney Comedy Festival, and they are also recipients of the prestigious Moosehead Award for their first ever Melbourne International Comedy Festival show, “The Axis of Awesome Comeback Spectacular”.

Their most recent international tours took them to the USA and Europe, selling out shows from LA and New York to London and Berlin. 2013 has seen the Axis of Awesome develop and perform their new show "Cry YOURSELF a River" at the Melbourne Internationals Comedy Festival, The Sydney Comedy Festival and The Perth International Comedy Festival. Their latest music video “Rage of Thrones” has over 1 million hits on YouTube, and it’s pretty darned awesome.
