Mel McGlensey is a motorboat. No, really. She’s a little motorboat on a journey of self-discovery, and not at all in a children’s storybook kind of way. She's on a delightfully bizarre journey from the docks (please note: the motorboat hates the docks) to the high seas.

With the help of Captain Daddy and the Motorboat Manual, the audience is drawn into a surreal world of boats and boobs, where almost anything goes and nobody really knows what is happening; a hallmark of excellent clowning. Unabashedly sexual and silly, McGlensey is hilarious from the very first honk of the horn to the final climax. She offers a fresh and fearless brand of physical comedy, commanding the room through a fast-paced, high energy, and unpredictable 45 minutes. MOTORBOAT sweeps you up, spits you out, and leaves you wondering why your face hurts so much.

There’s nothing like audience participation to strike fear into the hearts of Adelaide Fringe-goers but, as with all good voyages, MOTORBOAT is at its best when everyone is on board. It is worth noting that the audience’s willingness to go along with whatever McGlensey throws at them can impact the overall experience. However, if you are lucky enough to experience the show alongside an audience that embraces chaos then you’re guaranteed a riotously good time.
