Real questions identified As amusing as his hapless conduct is, Barney is, in effect, the straight man to the three successive, strongly comedic female characters, with each of whom he strives to reach beyond his staid existence in the hope of having a meaningfully spontaneous, unpredictable liaison, just once in his life.

Simon's sexual revolution never simple It is surprising that Neil Simon's vast repertoire is hardly ever staged in New Zealand.

Rolling together with well warmed up comedians A truer cross section of Kiwi comics [plus English MC] you couldn’t hope to find. Zoe Lyons worked the audience with lightning repartee. An audience as hyped as this one could have gotten out of hand but this gal knows how to get people on side and working with her. [more] |
 LATE LAUGHS 2013 at The Basement, Lower Greys Ave reviewed by Jan Maree 4 May 2013 |

Hot talent offers good value nightcap This is the first Late Laughs showcase of the festival and there is a crackling excitement brewing in the audience. This is the show where you will experience the edgier material, the controversial taboos blown wide open, the seamier more adult conventions of comedy and most definitely the 'C' word. [more] |

Debauchery, madness and mayhem come easy to mature dancers There was a definite focus, in the first of the two scheduled Late Show programmes, on the mature dancer. First up was Marieke Marygold with excerpts from her clowned and cutely corny theatrical memoir Suite Memories. [more] |

Viva la mature dancer! The #1 Late Show gifts us women dancers who bring a richness and experience to their performance: They’ve been there, done that, and who knows where they’ll go next, but they sure do it in style. [more] |
