Cadet Kelly is the Best Movie I've Ever Seen in my Friggin Life
 

Cadet Kelly is the Best Movie I've Ever Seen in my Friggin Life. Nominated for Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe Festival 2024, this show is an unhinged chaotic love letter to Disney Channel Original Movies.

Ben McCarthy’s world turned upside down after seeing the Disney Channel Original Movie: Cadet Kelly, starring Hilary Duff. He's certain it's the best film ever made, yet people aren't giving it the recognition it deserves. Witness his intensity, as he pleads you to like a film he likes very much.

I know what you're thinking, "I don't know this movie." That's fine, take a seat and let Ben let you know what you don't know.

Ben McCarthy is an improviser and comedian who's been performing comedy for over ten years.

His nostalgic, absurd comedy earned a nomination for Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe and rave reviews. Don’t miss his first ever solo show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival!

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.

    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.

    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
