Canberra’s coolest department, The Dept of Rock, will be powering up their amps at Smith’s Alternative as part of the Canberra Comedy Festival 2025 to bring us the show we've all been been waiting for - The Dept of Rock 'n ROFL.
Frank, fearless and funny - Madam Secretary and her tiger team of public servant rock stars will be shining a light on Canberra's shadowy government offices and reveal what is keeping our public officials up at night.
Is falling asleep in a meeting really that bad? How can I survive another day on the IT Helpdesk? Will ChatGBT replace me, and do I care? I’ve consulted with the public, but their feedback is wrong – what should I do?
A weird mash-up of Countdown, Utopia and Rockwiz – Dept of Rock 'n ROFL promises an unforgettable night of clever political commentary, laughter and of course great live music.
The 12 March show features Madam Secretary and these three fantastic bands:
The Lounge Legislators – If it’s a passage to laughter you are after, then go no further than The Lounge Legislators. These suave sophisticates have a mandate on smooth and focus on groove as they combine clever aps commentary with reimagined pub rock.
The Prod Commies – What does the Productivity Commission get up to when they aren’t doing deep economic dives? They get their punk rock on and have some serious fun of course. Prepared to be consulted at when the Prod Commies hit the stage, they really want your feedback.
The DUDs – The DUDs are acoustic punk rockers from Dept of Defence and Social Services who boarded the train of no decorum to journey through the public service over time and win the Dept of Rock Battle of the Bands 2025. Annoying bosses and elected officials as they go, the DUDs are out to stir, entertain and hopefully not get the sack!
