Comedy Festival 3 reviews:
Brian Lohmann, Debra Oswald, Luke Elliot
Johnny Lonely's Unhappy Hour by Brian Lohmann USA until
April 21, 1996
Another solo where comedy meets theatre in a cleverly
written, witty 70 minutes with the professionally love-lorn Johnny, terrific
original jazz numbers (eg Welcome to
Lonelyville, Population One) and deeply self-indulgent stories about screwing
up relationships.

Gary's House Debra Oswald Playbox until May 11, 1996
The comedy in this play is inversely related to the degree
of relentless anger of the characters: all losers who crave some peace from
their joyless, cruel world. It's comic-tragic. Particularly good first half in
a well-crafted play with a wild performance from Shane Feeney-Connor.
In the Belly of the Whale by Luke Elliot, Damien Richardson
until April 21, 1996
Delightful, devised two-hander about two blokes going
fishin' an' that. It uses sharp physical comedy and crisp pacing and is utterly
charming and very funny.
