**The Magical Dead Cat Tour** is an ongoing Aunty Donna tour featuring a Magical Dead Cat.

## Official synopsis (from the Magical Dead Cat)

Dear Human Beings,

Hello, I am a Magical Dead Cat, the titular Magical Dead Cat from the very title of this very show. I write to you today because I have discovered the most wondrous sketch show on the popular streaming service Netflix - Aunty Donna’s Big Ol’ House of Fun. I was so impressed with said show that I issued Aunty Donna this challenge: entertain me with a 2 hour live show, one that features all new sketches, but also a few fan favourites. It MUST include a short interval, and based on availability / budget, possibly an opening act. If Aunty Donna succeeds in pleasing me with a rip-roarin’ show, I have promised to surprise them with a special, web slinging, mystery guest!

Come, sweet humans, and see if Broden, Zach and Mark are up for the task!

With loving grace,

The Magical Dead Cat

## Promotion and ticket rollout

The original tour was limited only to Australia due to Covid, though the boys said they will perform abroad again when restrictions lift. Tickets were released to Patreon subscribers (as well as VIP ones) a day before the general public were able to buy them on the 16th June 2021. This was advertised with a video. The VIP tickets allowed fans to come an hour early to ask the boys questions while they set everything up.

Although the "tickets are selling out" line in the video was meant to be a joke, shows sold out quickly, prompting more dates to be added on the 17th as well as one at Hamer Hall on the 18thth. Even more were added on the 23rd and 24th, and on the 15th of July they announced several in smaller cities by way of an appearance on *Have You Been Paying Attention?* as well as a video of the Dead Cat playing Call of Duty. On the 29th, a New Zealand tour was also announced with another Dead Cat video. Extra show announcements continued to occur as more shows were sold out.

Unfortunately, the 23rd September saw the moving of all dates of the tour to 2022 as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. This was announced with another video named "FYI we got f\*\*ked - Tour Update."

## The tour

### Ballarat warm-up shows

The full tour required a test run, which was held in Ballarat from the 8th to the 10th of March 2022. This was announced via an Instagram post. Tickets were limited, and it was significantly smaller than the shows to come.

### Melbourne

   The Melbourne leg of the tour was held at Hamer Hall from the 15th to the 20th of March. All six shows sold out, which led to a signed poster for the tour being put on the wall at the venue. According to Broden's Instagram story, this replaced the poster for The Pirates of Penzance. Opening acts included Ben Russell, Annie and Lena, Jude Perl and Hot Department.

### Brisbane

The leg of the tour in Brisbane was held in Fortitude Music Hall from the 30th of March to the 3rd of April. Opening acts for this leg were LittleBitts and Rhi Down who did three and two shows respectively.

### Hobart

Though there were no openers for the Hobart leg, Broden said he enjoyed performing in the beautiful Theatre Royal.

### Perth

The Perth leg included a very intensive run of five shows in only three days.

### Adelaide

   In Perth Airport, Broden had to leave his $30 stack of pancakes on his plate as his plane was boarding. An Adelaide fan gave Broden a packet of pancakes after his flight.

### Sydney

The Sydney run meant the return of opening acts for the tour, including Gen Fricker and Demi Lardner. @miriam\_elvira on instagram documented her quest to bring fanart to the group, and the lidless tub of ice cream she recieved in return from them. Jack Roberts, a former King Larrikin Wallaby Waloo that appeared in "New Show" - FULL HOUR SPECIAL, attended the show.
