Carpe Idiotus suits couples who want their wedding entertainment to become strange, comic and deliberately hard to categorise. The Sydney duo combines mime, songs, visual theatre and interactive improvisation, with one guitar running through the act. That mix can turn a performance into something guests watch together rather than music that simply fills space behind conversation. Their own description admits the act is difficult to explain and points people towards the performance itself. The strongest fact is the blend of physical comedy, original interaction and musical material inside one two person show.
Watch Carpe Idiotus perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

Fair warning, the duo themselves struggle to describe this one. Mime, original comic songs, improvisation and visual theatre all end up in the same fast, silly hour, and it moves between them without much warning. Because so much of it is visual, it plays to mixed ages and to rooms where not everyone shares a first language, which is why it turns up at corporate events and festivals as often as it does. Two performers, one guitar, and very little of it explained on the way past.
This one needs the venue to provide the sound and lighting, including foldback so the performers can hear themselves. The specifics: two handheld microphones, one straight mic stand, one boom stand and a DI box. Not a long list, but every item on it matters, so pass it to whoever runs your AV well before the day.
