The Listies get the fart joke out of the way early. Giggles erupt, the kids are won over in seconds. Now the real show can begin. 

While 110% Ready’s concept — staging the chaos that ensues when trying to leave the house on time — sounds more like it’s aimed to entertain the adults in the crowd (which it absolutely does), it’s clear that The Listies are completely dedicated to what children will find funny. Fruit shaped like bums, Snot Ness Monsters, and plenty of goofy slapstick gags feature throughout the entirely engaging hour.

Rich and Matt, the duo playing the straight man and cheeky loose cannon respectively, work harmoniously to keep the momentum speedy and the belly laughs back to back. A highlight of the show comes in the form of an interactive breakfast session where the kids are encouraged to stand up, shout out, and expel any energy that may have built up in the first half of the performance. 

110% Ready showcases The Listies commitment to taking silliness and children’s entertainment very, very seriously.
