Performed at the Victoria Hotel, the venue provides a perfect setting for the talent-show-like production of FanFiction Comedy. Hosted by a camp man and two geeky judges, the pretense of FanFiction Comedy is to get all of your favourite characters, whether they’re Harry Potter or Legolas, and “just…fuck with them”. As in the case of Joseph Moore’s fanfiction Transformers 9: Transformers in love.
Optimus Prime is infatuated with Megan Fox who rejects his advances and accompanies Megatron to a Linkin Park concert. Further along, we discover that Megatron is actually the Chester Bennington and that like in the Santa Claus movies, once you kill Megatron, as Optimus Prime does, you inherit the responsibility of being Chester Bennington. Mind-fucked? Welcome to the FanFiction world.
FanFiction Comedy is basically absurd humour. If you find Adventure Time hilarious, you’ll find FanFiction Comedy the same. With different stories every night, special guests, including Justin Hamilton every Sunday, and an amicable crowd of fans — there’s a reason this was a hit last year — FanFiction Comedy is a must-see this festival.
