Review of Amy Hetherington: Juggle

Amy Hetherington: Juggle Review: Fringe World Perth 2023

What could be better than leaving the kids at home on a Thursday night and heading to see a comedy show about motherhood, chaotic toddlers, and nipple tassels? Seriously, not much. Amy Hetherington shares her story of being a new mum and the never-ending roller-coaster ride that goes with it. After having a baby and losing her sexiness, Amy goes on a Facebook filled quest (because where else would you go for sound advice??) to find it again. And so begins the ups and downs that are inevitable when you listen to mums in an online help group. Full of hilarious and graphic anecdotes, a bit of poking fun at her husband (in a loving way of course), so much honesty, and just a smidgen of over sharing, you would be absolutely kicking yourself to miss this one! As a mum, I have honestly never seen a more relatable show. There were so many “Omg, yes, me too!” and “oh crap, tell me you didn’t!?” moments throughout. Make sure you hold on to your pelvic floor ladies, this is definitely a laugh till you pee kind of show (easier for some of us to achieve than others!). Amy is just so much fun. Vibrant, down to earth, and full of crazy toddler energy that she’s possibly stolen from her daughter, she’s got to be, without a doubt, the funniest person in Darwin. The vibe she creates is so friendly and welcoming, Juggle is more like a laugh between friends than a comedy show. So whether you’re a mum, a dad or just someone who is up for a good laugh (especially at someone else’s expense) this show is for you. With so many shows to choose from at Fringe, you have to make sure Amy Hetherington is on your list! Click Here

Review of MATES: The Improvised 90s Sitcom

MATES is an improvised theatrical performance which takes it’s inspiration from the 90s sitcoms we all know and love. Complete with the over the top characters, stereotypes and of course a New York back drop. Unlike the classic sitcoms this team doesn’t need a laugh track to tell its audience when it’s funny. These three talented performers had the audience laughing from the get go with their charisma and overall likability. Just like the characters from everyone’s favourite sitcoms, this cast are charming, funny and a little goofy at times, you really do feel immediately that you’re amongst a few mates. In this improvised performance the audience choose the name of the episode by shouting out random words or locations for a double bill episode of this amusing sitcom. Once selected the all too familiar Friends episode name is created: “The One With The …”. In our performance it become “The One With The Funeral, Fancy Dress Party And Video Store”, Fashioning into a beanie bear deal gone wrong and a run in with a member of the Back Street Boys. I thoroughly enjoyed the show as did the audience from what I could tell. The crew really understood the formatting of a 90s sitcom and made sure to drop in plenty of 90s references throughout which made for a very entertaining 55 minutes of comedy and a sitcom I could very much see myself watching on the television.  Click Here
