We saw this last night.

It was brilliant. I could barely remember when I enjoyed comedy as funny and as insightful as this, much of it apparently spontaneous and unlaboured and well paced.

Pacing of course is very important in Comedy. You don’t wan’t  to be banged incessantly on the head. You, as a member of the audience, need space and time to let it sink in dwell on and then laugh at the proposition. 

Gretel Killeen was the MC. Gretel has three great loves in her life.  Her Daughters, Being On Stage, and Men. Clearly in thrall about the first two she was gloomy about Men…she gave up on the last one when he insisted that wombats ate coconuts.

Gretel glittered on stage. She was genuinely interested in her audience and directed the lights to be turned up so that she could engage with us. Mildly megalomaniacal..“I’m Gretel Killeen ..You haven’t heard of me..Where have you been..? Mars..?”.  She was perfect as the MC…Sexy, sparkling, welcoming and mercurial.

Chris Radburn was a different kettle of fish. His humor was mildly salacious. Kicking back at the world. ..” Me wife wanted more Kids. So I got er n xtra cuppel..There they r..sittin’ on the fridge door….happy as larry.. a dollar a day each….n….tax deductible.”

Lastly Peter Berner … A big, charismatic presence on stage. There was no reference to politics or pornography…He talked about our crazy world…Getting weirder each day… Occurrences like helicopter parents congratulating their little baby on its first poo…Wind farmers piling bags of wind into the back of their utes….

Great theatre and at $38.50 a ticket as cheap as chips.
