- The Listies are Richard Higgins and Matt Kelly, a double act from Melbourne, Australia who make live comedy and theatre and TV for "kidults" they also write and illustrate children's books. Forming in 2008 as an alternative comedy and variety act called "The List Operators" (named for their 'list making' schtick) they won the Melbourne Comedy festival's best independent show award (The 'Gibbo') and toured extensively, including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and Dublin Fringe Festival. They began to make work for young audiences in 2010 with a show called 'More Fun than a wii!', which went on to be the first kids' show ever to be nominated for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival best show award, Barry Award (for comedy). They have since been described as "cult figures in the children’s theatre world." The Listies regularly tour festivals in Australia and further afield and were the recipients of the Best Production for Children award at the Sydney Theatre Awards in 2013, they were nominated for this award again in 2016. They have made seven stage shows for children, two for adult audiences, released two albums and written and illustrated three books (published by Penguin Books under their Puffin Books imprint, Ickypedia (2015), Ickyfoodia (2017) and most recently The Listies' Teleportaloo.
