This month Live Reel offers you two choices. Take the blue pill and stay home doom-scrolling. Take the red pill – and witness six comedians attempt to recreate a feature-length movie from memory live onstage in 75 minutes.

Choose wisely. The Arts are in jeopardy.

This June Live Reel presents Red-Pill No-Spoon – a completely improvised and misremembered retelling of the sci-fi classic The Matrix by people who recall loving it 25 years ago and some people who will watch it for the first time the night before.

Will there be bullet time? Will a bald child say ‘there is no spoon?’ Will we figure out what The Architect was on about? It completely depends if our cast can remember. And if they don’t, hopefully we will have a metal neck rod on the side of stage they can jam into their spines to download the plot directly into their brains. And also Kung Fu.

Join us on June 25 - No script, no rehearsal, no spoons. Just one glitchy night of comedy. Featuring Bailey Poching, Liv McKenzie, Kalyani Nagarajan, Nicko Vella and more. Hosted by Nicky Vella
