IF you’re after some meaningful laughs then check out Luke Morris’s An Introvert’s Guide to Extraverts – a mock psychology lecture about introverts, extraverts and escaped lab monkeys.
A writer, researcher and comedian who has performed internationally, Morris is uncomfortable on stage and the type of person who’s favourite part of attending a party is leaving it.
The show follows Matt Boring (Morris) as the introverted classroom tutor who musters the courage to present – and correct – a lecture written by the extraverted head of the University’s psychology department.
A clash of ideas and prejudices is revealed alongside peer-reviewed papers and graphs, as your introvert side (quietly) cheers in solidarity and audiences are rewarded with unrecognised course credit.
The show helps audiences learn how the brain works, pokes fun at Carl Jung, disproves Myers-Briggs’ personality theory, and has cute images of dogs.
Part of Fringe World, An Introvert’s Guide to Extraverts is at the Sail & Anchor in Fremantle on Friday February 7 and SciTech Perth on February 8 and 9. Tix at fringeworld.com.au.
Raucous, boundary-pushing comic Mel McGlensey is bringing her latest show to Fringe World.
In Mel McGlensey is MOTORBOAT, she sets off in a new direction by artfully mixing clown, physical comedy, burlesque and character improv to bring you the silliest, sexiest, naughty and nautical show ever made about someone who is part woman and part boat.
“MOTORBOAT is an entire show born out of a stupid, silly little bit I started doing while studying at clown school in France,” says McGlensey.
“I got onstage and pretended to be a boat that needed the audience’s help to ‘start my motor.’ Crowds loved it. It was so popular that people began calling me the ‘Motorboat Mel’ and quoting my own bits back to me. I decided to make an entire hour-long show out of it and here we are.”
Mel McGlensey is MOTORBOAT is on from February 1-16 at The Pleasure Garden in Perth. Tix at fringeworld.com.au
