Zoe McDonald
Good Morning Mofo
Comedy Festival
Check with the theatre for times:
Malthouse has been transformed into a
Comedy Hub, with an inviting relaxed ambiance, to house a number of highly
recommended Festival Shows.
In Good
Morning Mofo Comedian Zoe McDonald presents a high-energy work that opens with
a punch and doesn’t let up for a second.
She creates and pillories, one of those ‘good morning television shows’,
through embodying a number of hysterical, beautifully drawn and skillfully
embodied, characters.
It is women’s week and the production
company is taking advantage of this to highlight women’s issues and feature women
- a short-lived, rare, novelty unfortunately.
Good
Morning Mofo is a great fun, slick, show driven by
insightful penetrating characterization.
Ms. McDonald shifts seamlessly and deftly from one wacky character to
another. I have to say my personal favorite
is the tremendously enthusiastic intern who is working for free but just loving
the opportunity. There is a Les Patterson
type female executive, very nauseating know-it-all make-up artist and a highly
regarded egocentric anchor.
Ms McDonald wears a stylish pink suit that
has an appropriate adaptability for her stable of characters.
There is audience participation – but it is
fun and not too terrifying.
A lovely enjoyable show that should get
heaps of ‘bums on seats.’
Here’s hoping that Zoe McDonald has a very
successful festival.
