Can I do a duo with my friend?
Absolutely. Want to do this comp with a friend? You can enter as a double, but will be judged as a single act. Once submission is required with both names, one paymnet on $15AUD entry fee is required. Please see point 5 below. Human props are allowed and must be paying ticket holders. They can watch the show and come back stage with you when you are ready to do on. They must also sign all waivers and releases. It is up to you print out a copy from them to sign. You are able to hand this in for them on the night on their behalf.
