One and a half stars.
Adelaide lawyer and comedian Anthony Jucha wanted to bare all to festival-goers. What a pity then his stories weren’t particularly engaging or funny.
Jucha discussed life as a lawyer, spending three nights on the streets with the city’s homeless and losing his virginity – yet nothing held much interest. The only truly funny part was when he showed his failed audition tape from Puppetry of the Penis – though that too was more cringeworthy
than hilarious.
His “feral” folk singer sidekick Soursob Bob was the show’s only saving grace. But when a song about putting panties on mannequins is the evening’s highlight, it is probably time to find some new material.
