Michelle Brasier is a triple threat; she can sing, she can act, and she can dance (but she cannot tap dance).
With numerous awards under her belt for previous shows Reform (2022) and Average Bear (2021), including a nomination for Most Outstanding Show at the 2021 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, it’s no surprise that her latest show is a hit, and one of our absolute favourite shows of the entire Comedy Festival.
Legacy takes you on a journey to find Brasier’s namesake after a chance encounter at the Lido Cinemas. It’s a story that’s both funny and emotive, as Brasier reflects on the choices she’s made in her life and the different paths she could have taken. It’s like Sliding Doors, but with more laughs. For those who haven’t yet discovered her comedic genius, this show is the perfect introduction.
Part musical, part theatre, and part comedy, you will sit in amazement at the abundance of talent as Brasier talks you through her near-death experience and sings songs about the war of generations. If that’s not enough (and it should be), Brasier’s labrador Eva, may even make an appearance as part of the show – adding an extra layer of adorableness to an already delightful show.
Overall, Michelle Brasier’s latest show is a must-see for anyone who loves comedy – her ability to form strong connections with the audience is truly special. Catch this proudly ‘basic’ comedic superstar in action over at the Comedy Republic, on until the 23rd April.
