Think you know British comedy? Think again!
Anarchic sketch comedy duo Lazy Susan comprising of Celeste Dring and Freya Parker, are currently at this year’s Melbourne International Comedy Festival!
Performing as part of the show ‘New Order UK,’ we put Lazy Susan to the test, quizzing their knowledge on some Aussie pastimes from Slurpee etiquette, to Chuckin’ a sickie, to the ingredients of a Lamington.
See how these two Brits faired in our game “How Aussie Are you” below:
