The Small Poppies are a band of young comics heralding from the nation's capital, brought together by their love of poking fun at tall poppies. They debuted at the 2008 Melbourne Comedy Festival and in a sell-out tour of Canberra with their show Think Inside the Box.
Poppycock! is an epistemological expose of the ostensibly rambunctious reasonableness of existence, or, about poppycock. Celebrity. Politics. Dogma. All poppycock!
Through sketch, and a little singing, no sacred cow can escape the Small Poppies' slaughterhouse as they grab meaning by the balls until it screams what is at the core of everything. No Richard Dawkins it's not a monkey, it's just Poppycock!
"A witty and pointed romp ... a skit show high in honest laughs, and one that signals the arrival of a renegade force on the Australian comedy circuit." Nick Craven, BMA Magazine
"Watch out Chaser!" Lisa Ridgley, Canberra's 106.3 Mix FM
