For years I've been meaning to see Cal Wilson do stand up comedy. She always seems so damn funny, lovely and smart when I see her on TV, read her writing in The Age or hear her on the radio. I decided this was the year and bought a ticket without so much as reading the name of her MICF show, let alone what it's about. Now, that was a bit of an error because her show involves playing characters which isn't really my kind of thing. I also missed the first 10 minutes of the show (was 5 minutes late and had to wait a further 5 (totally fair) before being let in) so I missed what seemed to be the critical set up.
So all in all, I'm sad to say I didn't love this. It's not without laughs and clever moments, but just didn't love it and nor did I laugh all that much. Others in the crowd did, in the interest of balanced reporting!
I've never been late to a MICF show and won't be again, I promise! I also promise, for what it's worth, to see her do comedy again some time when she's doing straight up stand up.
