Robot vs. World
Cast & Crew: Adrian Calear - Director Toby Sullivan - Writer Scott Pollard - Optimus Prime Alison Bice - Astroboy Fabienne Martial - Dame and Detective Louise Angrilli - Cyberman/Door I had seen Super Happy Robot Hour in 2005 and was looking forward to this show heaps since it was announced. The main characters are again Optimus Prime, Dalek and Astroboy who have formed their own detective agency investigating robot-related crimes with various levels of success. Their big break comes when a dame comes looking for help to find her husband, ED-209 who has been kidnapped. Dalek is kidnapped and Optimus and Astroboy run into a competing detective who tells them ED-209 has been murdered. By complete accident, Dalek finds out who is behind everything, but forgets everything due his obsession with a sandwich. Astroboy and Optimus eventually find Dalek and the mastermind behind the disappearance of robots is finally revealed, leading to a big showdown involving bodily fluids and Singstar. Considering everything else Scott has been up to lately: tattoos, fake weddings, etc, I am surprised he even had time to organise this show. It was a bit scaled-back compared to the last show, which would be necessary due to the amount of effort in getting all the props and costumes to work within the space. Having less props also means there are less things to go wrong, which would be a big help as the costumes themselves are very big and the actors have to be strapped into them. I am not sure if this show is going to be on at the Comedy Festival next year, best to catch it now just in case. I have heard from several people who wanted to go to it when I mentioned it so hopefully they get the chance.

MICF 09 - Day 2
Wilson Dixon Rides Again Vic's Bar, Victoria Hotel Thursday 2nd April 2009 "When it comes to the river of metaphors, you're gonna need an actual boat" I already go to see a lot of music around town, much of which I can go to for free, so it has to be something special for me to pay to see someone singing songs especially if I am leaving my camera at home. I don't know if I have seen Wilson's alter-ego at a gig, but one of my friends knew them and was jealous I was going. You don't have to be a country music fan, but it does help if you at least don't hate it. Old Crow Medicine show was played for the intro and outro music to get people in the mood and there were quite a few people for a preview night. Wilson Dixon is a Outlaw Country singer who has returned home from a tour to find his wife and children shacked up with the next door neighbour, leading him on a voyage of discovery with his horse Andrew and his crazy uncle in a mountain shack. The songs during the show are great and they are a part of the narrative so probably wouldn't make sense to sing by themselves. They do have all the country clichés in them, but the character is self-aware enough to point these out. I don't know if Wilson has done a live to air on RRR's Twang country music show or similar shows, but I think he would do well with the audience. I highly recommended show and the best way for me to start off the comedy festival for this year. ===== Best of British Exford Hotel, upstairs Thursday 2nd April 2009 Featuring: MC Dan Willis, Terry North, Nic Coppin, Alexis Dubis, Mark Butler I stop by the pub for a drink after work regularly, so I thought I might try this show out as I didn't want to go see another full show, but still wanted to go see some comedy. This show has a rotating roster of comedians that should change regularly, so it is a good chance to see if you like them before you fork out for their shows (most of them didn't do any material from their show though.) Dan Willis was a great MC and got to know the nationality personally of nearly everyone in the room. He also has two other shows during the festival CTRL-ALT-DELETE and "Ferris Bueller's Way Of..." a tribute to the classic 80s movie and its philosophy (his second show started straight after the gig.) Terry North did more traditional material, but is more of a storyteller comedian and that is kind of hard in such a short slot. His show is called "It all points north" I remember Nic Coppin from when he was the MC for Chopper at the Comic's Lounge a couple of years ago. I was sitting on the front table and my friends gave him heaps all night, he handled it very well and was one of my favourite comics on this night. He enjoyed getting groans from the audience for some off-colour jokes in his slot (fist-bump for Steve Irwin's death - what!?) He is also doing a show called "Loquacious" solo and also "Shaggers" at the same venue with a few other people. Alexis Dubis told some funny and absurd stories and actually did some material from his show "A bloody brief history of swearing". He had to fill in for a bit as one of the comedians was late, but I thought it went well. Mark Butler was the final comedian for the night and went well in his slot. His show "Let's talk about sex" should be interesting. What is also good about this show is after it you can either stay for Dan Willis' show or go downstairs and play Big Buck Hunter for 1/2 an hour until the after party show comes on at 10.30pm. It does get a bit messy down there later in the night, but if you want somewhere to stay drinking until 5.30am, this is the place for you. | | Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009 | | 10:23 pm |
