At a distance, they may seem rather ordinary, but up close their down-to-earth
jokes and quirky sense of humour is refreshing & entertaining. They are
incongruously fit for each-other, and as strange as that oxymoron
sounds; this is what makes them so good to watch on stage.
These two Rock n Roll dropouts first made their transition from music
to Musical Comedians in the JJJ Raw Comedy Competition in February 2005.
And in May 2005, they Independently Recorded, Released and Launched
their Debut, 10-Track Album “Doin' it for the Fat Kids” and have sold 600 copies exclusively at gigs.

The Laundro Bio
Please allow me to introduce two guys? Shane and Kris ??The Laundromats'.
At a distance, they may seem rather ordinary, but up close their down-to-earth
jokes and quirky sense of humour is refreshing and entertaining. They are
incongruously fit for each-other, and as strange as that oxymoron
sounds; this is what makes them so good to watch on stage.
These two Rock n Roll dropouts first made their transition from original music
to Musical Comedians in the Raw Comedy Competition in February 2005.
And in May 2005, they Independently Recorded, Released and Launched
their Debut, 10-Track Album ?Doin' it for the Fat Kids? and have sold almost
600 copies exclusively at gigs.
?The Laundromats' completed their first Tour of Melbourne in September last
year and recently returned from their first Sydney Tour in February 2006. And
the Comedians they have worked with over the last year reads like a virtual

Garry Who, Jimmy Poulos, Greg Sullivan, Charlie Pickering, Paul Brasch,
Denise Scott and Lindsay Webb. After being involved in the industry for only a
short while, the following accolades have already been bestowed on our
