Raygun: The Musical cancelled after Olympian issues legal threat

Legal letters asked comedian Steph Broadbridge to cancel the show and not use the name “Raygun” or the athlete’s “kangaroo dance”.

An Australian comedian has been forced to cancel her show inspired by Paris 2024 breaker Rachael Gunn, better known as Raygun, after the Olympian’s team issued legal threats. The application remains under examination, however, the government agency which issues trademarks published an “adverse report” in October functionally knocking back the claim. 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.
