A wrap of shows across the Melbourne International Comedy Festival includes performances by Jordan Gray, Jennifer Wong, Lara Ricote, Cal Wilson, Reuben Kaye and more.
Given she radiates good vibes, you’d think nothing could get Kiwi comedian Cal Wilson cranky. Just don’t slow her down by wandering aimlessly when she’s rushing around town, challenging total strangers to walking races.And whatever you do, fellas, don’t use unbidden hand signals to guide her into a parking spot she was perfectly happy taking her time aligning with.
On top of her game, Wilson is a rare comedian who can work a room without making folks feel super-awkward. She wants to know what irks you too, but unlike George Orwell’s daily Two Minutes Hate session in terrifying dystopian novel, this leads to a jolly all-in therapy session. Even the left-field audience member who hates mushrooms because “they’re smug” is embraced. Deft of wit, Wilson works that WTF moment into a snappy call-back.
