We created Janine and Bernadette during our first comedy show together at the Melbourne Int. Comedy Festival in 2023!
And we’ve been riffing with them ever since.
We are currently writing them their very own web and tv series, so stay tuned…
Hittin’ it Big! (at Sea) at the Old Fitz Theatre
Would you trust two disgraced Broadway stars to solve a murder? And on a Disney Cruise Ship no less?
Ever since they were mysteriously banished from Broadway, Janine Montgomery and Bernadette Davis have been producing smash-hit musicals on a Disney Cruise Ship. While holding auditions to find the perfect Mickey Mouse, they are told that just last night, a MURDER has been committed on the ship. A body has been found stuffed in a Goofy costume and hidden in the gift shop! Eager to be the stars of the show, Janine and Bernadette take the lead on the investigation and discover how treacherous, (and theatrical), life at sea can be.
Hittin’ it Big is sketch comedy meets stand-up meets impeccable American accent work. Expect a suitcase of wigs, many jokes about the Edinburgh Fringe and a naughty CEO called Marty Binx.
