Mummy - Melbourne Fringe Festival review

Mummy Num Nums is a name you'll never forget after this Melbourne Fringe Festival experience. The Hollywood starlet has had an illustrious career as long as both your arms put together. Her wide range of movie sequels to sequels include Dunston Checks in 4: Dunston Checks Out but her career has somewhat stagnated, so Mummy is on a mission to reclaim her place back on top of the Hollywood food chain, but first she has to contend with Bette bloody Midler. 

The eponymous star of Mummy: A Sexy Comedy Party is played to dazzling perfection by Brianna Williams in this part sketch comedy, part improvised show. Williams has a commanding presence on stage and knows how to charm an audience. She is at total ease with her character and is clearly having a lot of fun with her.

To help Mummy get her career back on track however, she has enlisted some well known - to her anyway - people to come and chat to her. Each performance of Mummy: A Sexy Comedy Party has three different performers and on this evening, I was fortunate enough to have Sarah Reuben, Martin Dunlop and Aunty Donna's Broden Kelly. Unlike the introduction to the show, these interactions are completely improvised and it's always fun for an audience member to see performers lost for words and unable to contain their laughter on stage.
