Seeing Michelle Brasier in KWANDA and Laura Frew in Fringe Wives Club's Glittergrass last week was a great way to whet my appetite for their new Melbourne
International Comedy Festival show, A
Very Fancy Dinner Party. As individuals they certainly have a strong engaging
stage presence but as Double Denim, their absurdist humour becomes unstoppable
and unpredictable, leaving audiences with no idea on what is going to happen next.
The very loose premise of A Very Fancy Dinner Party is that they – along with three other
couples – are competing on a reality TV cooking show, Eat My Shit, hosted by
Andrew G and James Mathison. Why Andrew G and James Mathison? Why not? Brasier and Frew play all the couples and the hosts,
as well as a few more guest characters, including a pair of crabs which they
seem to have most fun with.
