“Their musical lampoons really hit the mark…they had the audience in stitches, hooting for an encore – 4 stars” -The Age Astounding. Incredible. Mind-blowing. All of these words are used by the Axis of Awesome on frequent occaisions. Throughout their mind-blowing career, the Axis of Awesome have done some astounding things. Incredible! They are Australia’s Most Awesomest Comedy Band. In the short yet incredible time they have been a band, they have done literally so much stuff. Their 2008 Melbourne International Comedy Festival show “The Axis of Awesome Comeback Spectacular” won them a Moosehead award, and played to packed houses and rave reviews across Australia. Not content with blowing the minds and bodies of Australia crowds, they took the “Comeback Spectacular” to the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, to both commercial and critical success. They since returned in August 2009 to sell out their entire 25-show season with their new show, “Infinity Rock Explosion”, described as “a superbeast of high energy, high impact comedy” (chortle.co.uk). They have performed to sold out crowds and rave reviews across Australia (including the Melbourne and Sydney Comedy Festivals and the Adelaide Fringe and Cabaret Festivals), appeared on Good News Week (Channel 10), Q and A (ABC), The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Allstars Supershow Gala and The Footy Show (Channel 9) and gathered a legion of fans worldwide. Their YouTube video of their “4 Chords Song” currently has over FIVE million hits and has resulted in a barrage of emails asking what the chords are. The Axis consist of Jordan Raskopoulos, Benny Davis and Lee Naimo. Their albums “Infinity Rock Explosion!” and “Scissors, Paper, ROCK!” are out now. They leave men laughing and women gasping (and also laughing), and before long you’ll be laughing and/or gasping, depending on your gender. Get ready to have your face blown off its hinges. -“Truly Awesomely funny!” 5 stars -Adelaide Advertiser “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.” 5 stars -Broadway Baby “I enjoyed the show so much I bought the album Scissors, Paper, Rock!” 4 stars -Kate Copstick, The Scotsman
