You can't do an entire comedy show about plums, can you. At least not one that is going to be laugh out loud funny pretty well start to finish. Right?

Sometimes comedy just makes you happy. Coming out of David O’Doherty’s latest show, I have a kind of inside glow, a feeling that our messed up world is maybe kind of OK, maybe even kind of awesome, after all.

Back for its second run at Comedy Festival, this hilarious show celebrates fan fiction in all its glory.

Let’s Do This is an hour of rapidly paced wit, tight anecdotes and wacky musings with the quirk-o-meter just high enough to hit top without going into overdrive.

On stage, she cuts a figure the very quintessence of a young up-and-comer from Sydney: glamorous, brash, sharp-witted and cynical. She has a guitar and knows how to use it.

Loretta is classic white trash – even classy white trash at times – and her dialogue and songs explore its rich realms.

The Book of Mormon
It’s been almost 15 years since The Book of Mormon premiered on Broadway and even longer since Joseph Smith ‘discovered’ the golden plates that provided the inspiration for the show.
My Brilliant Career | Melbourne Theatre Company
Step aside The Boy from Oz, there’s a new contender for the title of ‘The Great Australian Musical’.
Afterglow | Midnight Theatricals
However earnest and inarguably lovely it is to look at, the pedestrian sexual indulgence and relationship traumas of New York 'A' gays penned 9 years ago doesn't feel particularly urgent.
Cluedo The Play
Cluedo is an energetically performed ensemble farce that either toyed with surprising us, or missed opportunities to do so.
Piper's Playhouse | Crown Entertainment
There’s an endless fascination for the underground nightlife of prohibition-era America or turn-of-the-century Europe.
Now playing Melbourne
Capturing the essence of its predecessor, Heathers The Musical is an absurdly comic production that doesn’t just walk the line of polite society but plans to blow it all up with reckless abandon.
It feels that the show hasn’t quite worked out what point it wants to make.
