One half of the hilarious pair, Frank Woodley, said while it wasn't their first time in Wagga, it will still feel like a brand new experience.
"We have been quite a few times, but it's hard to remember all our gigs because we go to so many different places," he said.
"What I do know is that if I had some horrific incident and people beat the crap out of us at the door for not being funny, I would have remembered it so it must be a great place."
Woodley described the show as a silly take on a historical event.
"The premise of the show is that after a break for 12 years, Colin has moved on from stupid nonsense and wants to produce sophisticated theatre," he said.
"So it's set as this moving period piece about the Wright Brothers inventing the aeroplane, but with a combination of his own stupidity and ego plus my attention deficit disorder, there's that element of craziness where it all turns south.
"A fair heads up, it won't be an educational show, don't come if that's what you're after - we did have an old lady walk out once thinking it was a documentary type play on the invention of the aeroplane."

As long as a crowd is happy to participate and laugh along, Woodley said that is all that matters.
"To be perfectly honest, we've found that it's very difficult to distinguish between regional or city crowds with our comedy because it is universal, it has a timeless essence to it," he said.
"We found that wherever we go we get the same response except for extreme situations like once we were performing in Montreal, Canada, and they turned out to be predominantly French speaking and couldn't understand anything we said.
"The only thing that worked was when Col taught the audience the Aussie term 'this is shit house' and had them chanting it."
The performance, hitting the Wagga Civic Theatre stage on June 15, may not be the pair's last appearance in Wagga according to Woodley.
"We enjoyed creating this show very much so we've already started talking about what will be next and we will definitely will do something together in the future, we're just not sure when," he said.
"It's been so much fun, when we split up there was no animosity between us so it was great to get back together, its like backpacking through Europe for six weeks with your friend and there are always cracks that start to form, but imagine doing that for 20 years, so we needed a bit of breathing space and to explore our own things personally, but reuniting has been great."
Tickets are selling out fast, and Woodley said it was important not to miss the start of the show.
"There's only one joke in the show that's actually funny, we're just lucky it makes people laugh for an hour and a half, so don't be late, otherwise you'll miss that bit and it will be disappointing," he said.
