Most new stand ups don’t have a show’s worth of material, but they do have a few minutes of terrific stuff, and what better way to get your Fringe legs than to share the stage with friends.
MELBOURNE FRINGE 2011
Presented by: Dil Ruk, Morven Smith, Jay E Manne and Tim Clark (with guest Ben Lawrence)Venue: Portland Hotel Saturday, 24 September 2011
4’s KIN give us their best 12 minutes and there’s enough laughs and likeability to know that we’ll soon be seeing much more of Dil Ruk, Morven Smith, Jay E Manne, Tim Clark and (guest) Ben Lawrence.
Each are developing a stage character and working with observational jokes, and all brought an original twist to the worlds around them and showed us just how twisted their brains really are.
I think being a stand up comic has to be one of the bravest performance choices. Great stand up is about sharing your most personal and embarrassing secrets with strangers and friends. The best (the ones we go back to see as much as possible) are the ones who dig deep, show us their hearts and help us realise that being a bit messed up is perfectly normal.
