And she can\'t remember what she laughed about? Who cares!! The show was great and we all loved it. A bargain night of entertainment for only $28. - Marlene Vellacott Thu, 11 Sep 2008 19:35:39 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-551 This review of the recent Big Purple Undies show In Perth reveals so much more about Simonne Michelle-Wells than the show. Whilst she begrudgingly admires Louise Kelman\'s \"extremely congenial presence on stage\", that\'s where the review ends. The commentary reads more like sour grapes than anything else. I thought the show was fabulous and even the reviewer admitted that she \"laughed a lot\". Sounds like Simonne needs to do a bit more of it!! - Elizabeth Herron Wed, 10 Sep 2008 20:04:38 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-549 Congratulations Lou on an absolutely fantastic and brilliantly funny show. I don\'t agree with some of the above reviewers comments, although everyone is entitled to their own opinions and, I assume the reviewer didn\'t pay for her tickets either.... Perhaps the reviewer was too young to fully understand or appreciate the contents of the show.... The blog did state that it is a show for the over 30\'s. I was one of a group of 15 ladies and I can honestly say that every single one of us laughed and laughed until our cheeks hurt. We thoroughly enjoyed the show. Thank you Lou! - Connie - Perth Wed, 10 Sep 2008 16:10:28 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-546 I am very cynical about stage shows so am hard to please. Wow! was I pleasantly surprised. Lou Kelman\'s show was fantastic. I laughed so much I cried. What a shame the above review has so many negative points. It\'s as though the reviewer didn\'t understand what Lou was achieving with her show. Lou was able to achieve an intimate and warm atmosphere which was very unique. She was able to entertain a room full of women of all ages and cultures without taking any of them out of their comfort zone. She created an atmosphere that allowed us to laugh with women not at women. Congratulations Lou on a fantastic show. It was a very positive female sharing experience. - Jenny - Perth Tue, 09 Sep 2008 13:59:24 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-544 It was a fantastic show and even better finding out Lou was Christian. I love comedy but generally steer clear of live shows due to the content. I hate how they have to rely on the F word to get a laugh! My Mum\'s 63rd B\'day was coming up and I didn\'t know what to get her. BOC ticketing email arrived and I saw show advertised women\'s only and clean comedy show. Well Mum and I never laughed so hard, from the start when Lou came on stage singing to the end we had tears streaming down our faces. We had the best night, we still laugh now when we chat about it. I have read Lou\'s little book and relive her performance and I laugh over and over - and I had it signed and bought the DVD for $30 - bargin. We attended the Subiaco performance on 16/8. The men in the audience were are treat and Lou worked with them fantastically. I have been telling all my friends about the show and now we are heading down this week-end to see Lou and her purple undies at Bunbury 13/9 our ages range from 24 - 45. YOU are just FABULOUS - God Bless you and your GOD given talent!!! - Lynette - Perth Tue, 09 Sep 2008 09:55:46 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-540 I also went to the show with all the \"Lorraines\". It was absolutely brilliant. I have never laughed so much in all my life. Lou\'s take on mammograms, finding Mr Right and Pap Smears was extremely funny. I was telling my 87 year old mother the stories the next day and we were laughing so much. I can\'t wait till Lou comes again to Perth. I will definitely be one of the first to book a seat. Keep up the good work, Lou.

I laughed so much I cried. This was a show all women of all ages can go, relate to and also have a good laugh. I think the ability to make people laugh without being rude or crude shows what a fantastic writer and performer she is. The Big Purple Undies is a wonderful show and Lou is a a very funny commediene. - Donna Christophers Mon, 08 Sep 2008 13:05:19 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-527 What a show!!! I laughed so hard I cried and & early wet my pants.My god I must be menapausal or I must be mad. This show was so funny.Approx 2 1/2 hours of girlie bliss.If you can relate to the POSTAGE STAMP story then you must appreciate this show.To dance on stage & gave fun with this woman was worth the embarrassment but then I have had babies!!!!!For you ladies (??) who did not enjoy the show go home and watch a DVD.Love you LOU. - joy martanovic Mon, 08 Sep 2008 10:37:57 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-532 I couldn\'t agree less with the comments in this review.I laughed till I cried throughout the show and remember it all vividly several weeks later.I am a fan of stand up comedy and have seen them all from the best to the worst and Lou Kelman is definitely up there with the best. The set, rather than tacky was perfectly suited to the show, a show which I feel is perfectly suited to a professional theatre stage. - Liz Moynan Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:32:06 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-531 What show were you at ?? I was at this show and it was the best female comedy c I have seen in years- she was simply brilliant !! - Karen Anderson Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:31:20 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-526 My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed Lou\'s show and would certainly welcome the opportunity to return for a few more hours of simple joy. Our group ranged in age from 46 to 85 years old and all of us appreciated the light heartedness that Lou intends. Perhaps the look on the faces of the audience at the end of the show should be a good indicator of the success achieved by Lou in her attempt to bring good old fashioned fun to us. I applaud Lous\' skills on stage - to stand up there alone as long as she does and keep the audience totally entertained is something not many can do... As for the \"mad\" psychic - could her behaviour on stage just be a \"Bit of Fun\" also - just keeping in sync with the theme of the night. After all the show really is about us making fun of us old biddies who have experienced all sorts in our lives and and can look back with a smile. By the way - psychic mediums do not cast spells on people - we leave that to witches! - Lorraine Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:29:54 +0100 http://www.australianstage.com.au/reviews/perth/big-purple-undies--lou-kelman-1766.html#comment-525 Sounds as though the reviewer needs to laugh a bit more - surely it doesn\\\'t matter if you can\\\'t remember why you were laughing - just that you laughed...?? If you can\\\'t just laugh for the hell of it - that\\\'s a shame - I went to the show and thoroughly enjoyed it - Lisa Smith Sun, 07 Sep 2008 22:28:40 +0100
