See this show or be an idiot forever - Melbourne's most-loved duo back for one night only
DEFROST 2026: Cool & Smart
Which one's Cool? Which one's Smart? Wrong question - they're both "&".
For 4 years, Barney Pollock and Matt Young were the busiest double act in the building: 30 shows, 1163 tickets, named TIC's Best Team twice, and one web-series deal that evaporated into a TikTok account (300k views, zero dollars). Then, like all great institutions, they vanished. For one night at Defrost, they're back.
You've seen them on Deadloch and Thank God You're Here, now watch them do what they're best at: having a big ol' fuck around on stage. Matt WILL yell, and Barney WILL stand really still and do something funny with his face
"High energy, satirical, and downright bizarre" (Fringefeed ⭐⭐⭐⭐).
"Genuinely hilarious… undeniable chemistry" (Isolated Nation ⭐⭐⭐⭐).
Theory Bar holds like 30 people, you do the math. Get a ticket.
