Edinburgh Festival Review – Hanna Gadsby – Kiss Me Quick I’m Full of Jubes
Live all the way from Tasmania is Australia’s favourite Tasmanian….
Hanna Gadsby’s show Kiss Me Quick I’m Full of Jubes is a show about her mother. The show’s title is one of mum’s various codeword phrases that you’d need a specialised dictionary to decipher. (You’ll have to see the show to find out what Kiss Me Quick… means – you didn’t think I would ruin it for you, did you?)
Gadsby takes us through her childhood years, waxing philosophic about her clumsiness, appeasing her mother, coming out to her family, and travelling to “the mainland” (i.e. the rest of Australia). Complete with the requisite jokes about rural life down under, Hanna keeps ‘em coming for the entire hour. There’s something about her mild, unassuming nature that just makes the jokes even funnier. A must see!
5 star classic comedy. Playing at Assembly Rooms George Street, 19:20. £10 – Book Now.
