The review

Fiction bois band announces their last-ever concert, bragging about thousands of desperate fans, hundreds of broken hearts, thundering success, but all that is coming to an end with the quartet separating, following their own way.

The statements are so genuine that one lets them be carried away, plunging into the atmosphere of that massiveness. However, this show was born in 2024 at the Old Fitz Theatre, and grew in strength with smashing success on Edinburgh Fringe, London’s Soho Theatre, and then in 2026 as a part of the Melbourne Comedy Festival and Adelaide Fringe.

The crowd of fans at the door, buzzing, busy foyer, posters prepared on seats to be waved during their show - it all adds to a high stormy vibe the show sustains nearly all its length.

Soaked in an expressive flood of energy, the sequence of smart lyrics pop songs balances on the edge of satire, parody and comedy, laughing off the dominating, narcissistic, overconfident appearance of fuccbois. They masterfully involve and truly unite the audience (ok, not thousands) but a packed Darling Theatre, including all ages and genders.

The statement points here: the show was written by a woman and performed by female/non-binary singers. Their vocal and dancing talents are just exceptional; they are bound strongly, bouncing the conversation, picking up jokes off each other seamlessly. They do look like bois in baggy clothes, layered shirts, trackies, shorts, t-shirts of very basic taste considered separately, but shaping up something like a street-dancing mood when dressed on together.

Them as fuccbois are amusing, sexy, unleashed, inappropriate and loud. The gender of performers gives them carte blanche to bring up anything they want (watch for heavy landing “me too”), and they play it well. Each song is rich, not pushing on layered meanings but offering them once you're willing to focus closer. A large screen at the back has lyrics on it to accompany the songs - much worth following it, submerging to the sound of excellent music.

Raving “Rich Dad's Club” is poignant and hilarious; “This is what a feminist looks like” is a satire on a pile of womanising, arrogance, playing around, - you name it, doubling up its strength being performed by a drag-king band.

The story threading the performance is touch simple, and towards the final scenes the confident vibe breaks into pieces, slows down into a nearly teary lyrical dip, but then picks itself up finishing with a bang.

I do not excel in marketing, but perhaps saying this show whirled me in, considering I’ve never seen a live pop music concert and I am not a party girl, will sell it to you.
