DAMIEN POWER (AUS) - Melbourne International Comedy Festival / by Stephanie Puls

This is a top notch show that brings loads of laughter. Damien declares from the outset that he’s trying to make his material lighter than in previous shows and he uses the contrast between this and his natural inclination to be quite dark really cleverly.

He talks about the contrast between he and his brothers and family politics with his dad, wealth inequality, conspiracy theorists, peacocking men and reflects on what he values and has been striving for. It’s a bloody hilarious ride! I loved this show and so did the friend I saw it with.

I’ve seen Damien’s shows in the past and never been disappointed. He’s a really talented stand-up comic and this show is up there with his best, which is a high bar indeed. Happily recommending you get along to this one!
