Legal letters asked comedian Steph Broadbridge to cancel the show and not use the name “Raygun” or the athlete’s “kangaroo dance”.
Stephanie Broadbridge has cancelled her show Raygun: The Musical, due to be performed in Sydney on Saturday.But comedian Steph Broadbridge canned Saturday’s performance after Gunn’s lawyers sent several letters to the show’s promoter, iD Comedy Club, asking them to cancel the show and not use the name “Raygun” or use the athlete’s now famous “kangaroo dance”, as both were Gunn’s intellectual property.
Gunn does, however, have a trademark on a silhouette image of her performing the kangaroo dance, which was accepted on November 15 and is awaiting publication. This trademark was filed on September 25, the same day Broadbridge first promoted her musical on Instagram.In a statement, Gunn’s management, Born Bred Talent, said it was “committed to protecting her intellectual property and ensuring that her brand remains strong and respected” and anticipated the trademarks would soon be registered.
followed the story of Rachael Gunn, the Sydney academic whose quirky performance representing Australia in breakdancing was one of the most viral moments from the Games.Gunn’s team said it had come to their attention that the use of Raygun by Broadbridge had “caused confusion among the public, potentially leading them to believe had Rachael’s endorsement or approval”.
