MICF: Lauren Bok, Sam Marzden and Bert Goldsmith Radio Variety Hour

Radio Variety Hour is a delightful and witty homage to the classic 1950s radio play.

Radio Variety Hour

Packed with a wide array of sound-making props (including a cabbage!), the trio of Bok, Marzden and Goldsmith are all packed with loads of comedic talent.

Jumping between characters, voices and stories, the show has a sense of well-organised chaos and keeps the audience engaged with ‘applause’ and ‘gasp’ signs amongst others. A particular highlight of the show was Bok’s hard-boiled “Joan Jackson: Female Private Detective”, who must convince a big movie star to leave his trailer to keep filming his new movie.

The camaraderie between these three performers feels effortless, while the show is over so quickly that you’re left wanting more!
