Denise Scott, at Cloak Room Melbourne Town Hall until April 23, 2000
Melbourne International Comedy Festival
Reviewer: Kate Herbert
Reviewed on same night as Wil Anderson. KH'
Denise Scott is a very different kettle of jokes (...from Wil Anderson. See previous review done on same night.)
She is unconcerned looking pretty on stage but is absolutely adorable. She appears, tossed like a rag doll into a battered armchair, with her face and clothing smeared with bush-fire ash,

This is a theatrical comedy show. Although Scottie presents
as herself, she takes us no a journey through her childhood in daggy
Greensborough where nothing ever happens until the bushfires in 1964.
She sings catholic hymns, shows us slides or her childhood achievements
and strips to her sequined green callisthenics outfit for a demo of her
prowess.
She is comfortable with her audience who feel like old
friends by the end of the slide show. Suburban Riot is just that: a riot.
