Anything But The Dyson and Other Excellent Monologues
Katrina Mathers (The Wedge, Flipside, Footy Chicks) returns to Melbourne International Comedy Festival with her first show in 23 years: Anything But The Dyson and Other Excellent Monologues. A series of excellent monologues about midlife mayhem. Expect a chaotic Dyson love-hate saga, menopause meltdowns, cold-water triumphs and a hot-pink suit. Older. Hotter. Funnier. Bring a fan.
Perfect for women who’ve lived a little, sweated a lot, just discovered the #WDNC Club and are looking for cheap cocktails and a desperately-needed night out with the gals.
The show is on at 6pm, so you can be home in bed by 9pm. (I know, right? I got your back ladies! Actually, no, I'm lying - the 6pm show time is so I can be in bed by 9.)
'Mathers is terrific.' Herald Sun
'The excellent Katrina Mathers brings so much presence, she haunts the space after she leaves.' ArtsHub
'Mathers’ words and excellent presentation ..... are funny,
entertaining and relatable... her excellent acting and
comic ability come to the fore... (and) given the laughter
of the men in the audience on opening night, it’s not a show
just for women' Travels with JB
'Hilarious mix of stand-up comedy, autobiography, and –
as it says on the poster – other excellent monologues….
Whether her own words, or others, what shines through
is Katrina’s authentic voice. Unique and genuine, hilarious
and entertaining, "Anything But The Dyson" is more
than worth a visit this Comedy Festival' Australian Arts Review
'The monologues are well-written and, as a performer,
Katrina Mathers has great comic timing. Her versatility in changing
from one character to another is wonderful to watch' The Scoop
