THE GRAND REVUE
an online playtime for Grandparents and Grandchildren who live apart
Every year Matt and his Gran celebrate their birthday together, but this year Gran is off exploring the world, so they’ll have to party together online, and YOU’RE INVITED!
But will you be able to help Matt be able to pull off the Best Party Ever?
Will you be able to stop his twin brother Trevor from wrecking it all?
Will you be able to help him to decorate the house, make the card, crack the codes and most importantly blow out the candles?
“It was hilarious. It was like making your mind go
Huh? Ha? Whaa!!!”

The Grand Revue is an interactive zoom show has been made especially for Grandparents and their little loved ones (biological and chosen) who live apart. Performed entirely on Zoom, The Grand Revue features silly songs, parlour games, sock puppets and plenty of shenanigans that can be shared online, despite the distance.
Hosted by the master of ridiculous Matt Kelly (the Listies) one thing is for sure, Zoom will never be the same again.
What are Grandparents saying?
“Magical”
“The participatory moments were excellent, especially decoding the mystery letters”
“It was so special to laugh along with my Grandchildren and share this hilarious experience from a distance”
“More please!”
How ‘The Grand Revue’ unfolds.
The Grand Revue is an online show, where Grandparents and their Grandchildren (biological or chosen) will join host Matt Kelly (The Listies) on zoom for 50 minutes of facilitated fun.
Grandparents are invited to join the call early to ensure they are comfortable with the tech requirements of the show, and to be enlisted to help with the BIG FINISH!
Within the show, Grandparents and Grandchildren are brought together in break-out rooms to connect through the solving of puzzles, and interactive tomfoolery.
Embedded within the show are simple tools including puppetry, forced perspective and use of the whiteboard that Grandparents might like to use in future calls with their Grandchildren.
Wrap around support that increases digital literacy in older people is built into the experience in both pre and post show engagement.
