Rich is determined to do the impossible. Today is the day. Shoes on, bags packed, out the door. Easy peasy. Matt, however, has other ideas. Expect a poop-load of puns, slapstick, a splash of improvisational idiocy and the Snot Ness Monster. The Listies: 110% Ready provides proper laughs for kids (4+) - and even bigger laughs for the adults who have lived through this exact scenario every single morning.

Winner of the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Bestie Award for Best Kids Show, 110% Ready is The Listies at their absolute best: fast, funny, and just a little bit out of control. This new show is The Listies' hilarious love letter to the chaos of family life - the kind where you're standing at the front door, keys in hand, wondering how it took 45 minutes to put on a single shoe. Rich plays the eternal optimist who is convinced today will run smoothly. Matt plays everything else.

Together, Matt and Rich create a perfectly recognisable (and wildly exaggerated) portrait of the daily scramble. Over 15+ years, the duo has built a reputation as masters of 'kidult comedy', creating shows where children and parents alike laugh outrageously.

Richard Higgins and Matt Kelly comment, Every family we've ever performed for has had a morning disaster story. Parents have said the show was 'triggering'. We wanted to make a show that acknowledges that chaos and finds the joy in it. 110% Ready is about the gap between what we plan and what actually happens, which turns out to be the funniest place in the world. Which is really a show about every family, everywhere.

Part of the House of Oz Edinburgh 2026 season, 110% Ready sees The Listies deliver a show that's 110% ready - even if the characters aren't. Performances will run from August 2-16.
