Directed by Jo Turner, Allsopp and Henderson’s The Jinglists has already tread some impressive boards – the Melbourne Comedy Festival, Adelaide Cabaret Festival, the Edinburgh Fringe and Soho Theatre in London – before settling down for a season at the Bondi Pavilion. Neurotic, jingle-writing duo Leigh and Loman have their cloistered lives thrown into turmoil when they spy a lovely lady through their keyhole. Entrenched isolation is finally challenged by love and the allure of the outside world. Will the catchy ditties for sphincter cleaners and eulogy convenors – not to mention the duo’s friendship – survive the ordeal? (AB)

Jan 31-Feb 18, Bondi Pavilion Theatre, Bondi Beach, $21-33, 8019 0282, rocksurfers.org
