MICHELLE BRASIER: REFORM (SPECIAL TAPING)

Michelle Brasier: Reform (Special TapinPr of Mlbourne Internationl Comedy Festival

Sunday 12 April, 2:00pm & 4:00pm

After a fully sold out run at Edinburgh fringe and being reviewed one of the top 5 of the thousands of shows on offer, Michelle Brasier figured she could probably milk her show REFORM a little more by performing it in Melbourne, this time not during a pandemic (cute!) and this time for a very special taping (the taping of a very special). For two shows only Michelle is coming home to Comedy Republic.

Reform is a cautionary tale of an online scam and the urge to empathise with, understand, and become the emergency contacts of those who have done us wrong. A theatrical hour of storytelling and music, with Tim Lancaster playing the role of his own worst enemy. Maybe the real Facebook Marketplace is the friends we make along the way.

*there will be cameras, if you are in hiding for crimes etc, make sure you wear a little hat AND this will probably sell out please book fast, I can’t do extras - I have to go back to the musical I am doing where I do a two hour long impression of Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny (this is real).

“Engagingly propulsive … thoroughly entertaining … dishing out gutsy optimism and faith in redemption” ★★★★★ The Times

MALTHOUSE OUTDOOR STAGE - SONGS WITH MY FRIENDS

BOOK TICKETS

Actor, singer, writer and comedy darling Michelle Brasier wants to sing to you under the stars (lucky)! Fresh from Shaun Micallef's Mad As Hell, Thank God You're Here, Aunty Donna's Coffee Cafe and Australian Epic, Michelle heads to Malthouse outdoor stage (rug up!) for an evening of duets with some of her most attractive friends.

And stories. Oh, there will be stories. Stories as love letters to the intimacy of friendship. Friends that drift apart, friends that break delicate hearts with personal successes and a handful of missed calls. Friends that stand by your side at a funeral, confiscate your phone through a breakup and hold your hair back while you vomit.

A little bit funny, a little bit sad and an aggressive dose of harmonies. Text the group chat and tell the girls to get the tram in. It's a wine and stars night.
