If you like Dungeons and Dragons see this show!

If you like the art of story telling see this show!

If you want a standup comedy act or your standard Melbourne Comedy Festival fair then this is not for you.

The guys from the Dice Paper Roll podcast take you on a journey with some wacky fantasy characters set at a range of movie studios.

The content is primarily improvised with a very relaxed attitude to the rules of D&D as a vessel for the light hearted narrative.

My colleague a big fan of the game was surprised the characters were able to achieve their objectives even when rolling some very low numbers. I concurred it would be nice for the missions to fail and the story to bend and break in a live fashion according to the dice.

Dice Paper Roll is relaxed fun for anyone wanting to escape into a fantasy world for an hour, plus the audience gets to contribute the sound effects!

    The show is aiming for silliness, and its successful realisation here is certainly a nice change of pace from the worries of the modern world.

    Young efficiently managed various costume changes to transport us to different eras of the Bush legacy. The vocals are consistently of a high-quality, even through the demands of some very physical dancing to a backing track.
