About the Show

The Jinglists is a story about love, loss and jingles.
Agoraphobic jingle-writing geniuses Leigh and Loman live and work together in a state of dysfunction, and have not left their apartment in 30 years. Though barely on nodding terms with reality, they find comfort and meaning in their work, crafting brain-searing melodies for products they know little about. Their lives are thrown into turmoil, however, when they glimpse the girl of their dreams through the mail-hole. Can love redeem these two lovable misfits, or will they pummel each other into the abyss of madness?
Recipient of the 2008 Brian McCarthy Moosehead Award, The Jinglists was first performed at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. It then set sail with TRS at the Old Fitz, graced the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, played the legendary Underbelly in the 2010 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, before featuring at the prestigious Soho Theatre in London's West End.

Our Goal And How You Can Help
February 2012 will see Allsopp and Henderson take to the stage to bring The Jinglists back to life in a brand new venue at the Bondi Pavilion Theatre. However, they need help raising$2,000 to pay for new costumes, instruments and set pieces in order to make the show bigger and better than ever before.

Bringing The Jinglists back to life at the Bondi Pavilion is only the first step in A&H’s journey for 2012 which will hopefully see them return to the West End. The rehearsal process is already under way as they guys re-write, re-work and re-imagine a show that has already brought entertainment to audiences all of the world. As opening night nears we will keep you updated on rehearsals and the rest of the journey via our twitter page http://twitter.com/allsoppnhendo and facebook http://www.facebook.com/allsoppandhendo.

Generous folk who donate will be rewarded with not only the knowledge that they are helping to bring independent Australian theatre to life; but will also receive a mention in the program and on the website, tickets to see the show, and a meet and greet with cast and creatives. No amount is too small!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               A Little About Allsopp and Henderson
