Review: Kel Balnaves - Life Changing Muesli

Fresh off a great season at the Adelaide Fringe, Belgraves brings  this warm and uplifting show to Melbourne.  The warmth of his delivery is only matched by the warmth of the room that of the Carpet Room and the Forum Theatre.

Unlike many show titles in this year’s comedy festival this show is life changing and actually contains muesli.

Balnaves is endearing and befriends the audience taking them all of a very amusing journey of discovery. He draws on his childhood (and the audiences) memories.

He is not famous, not on radio or TV but he generates endless laughs throughout the show. Make sure to get your ticket to this show.

Review: Andrew McClelland - We Really Must Do This Again Sometime

Andrew is one of the happiest and most energetic comedians going around. He gives it all on stage. His show is a mix of fantastic word play, sharp observations all punctuated by some singing and dancing.

Performing in a “room” at the Forum Theatre. I say room because it feels like a converted closet, furnished with church pews., despite the ever increasing heat in the room everyone of the more than sold out audience enthusiastically joined in the final song.

Melbourne loves its comedy, but not enough to respect the start time. More than 50% of McClelland’s audience arrived more than 10 minutes into the show.  Whilst it disrupted the flow of his prepared material it did not halt the laughs. In Andrew’s words “I loved the show the best part was the logistics.”

Actually the best part was the drinking song. It is difficult to pick just one highlight in such a constantly funny show.
