DROWN 'EM OUT - 2022 MELBOURNE FRINGE
A gritty, hilarious and triumphant story from a masterful storyteller about finding a platform for her feisty and honest voice that she had lost somewhere along the way, in a small Australian coastal town in the '70s and '80s.
At 48 years old, Lisa Sharpe discovered stand-up comedy and in delighting audiences with her funny and true stories, she found her voice again. Now a 52-year-old menopausal woman, her voice is louder and stronger than ever. The audience will leave the theatre feeling like they can achieve anything, and no-one will dare to ignore their voice again.
'Hands down one of the best storytellers of our time. Funny, charming and able to paint a picture with words and imagery which leaves you with always wanting more.' John Peacock, The Comedy Commune
Feedback/Comments
Great show
Well structured, quirky and very funny stories about growing up in a country town, from a not-so-distant time.
Unfortunately many of the jokes were in jokes which were understood by the room full of family and friends. Lisa looked like she was not at ease with so many people she knew which is a shame because with some tweaks to her material it would have been great. A side note I need to mention is the show jokes about males making inappropriate sexual advances/comments including a father and teacher. Sitting with a person who had been sexually abused by such people made them ill.
Great cause! the show could do with a few tweaks :)
