Review by Lisa Lanzi | 07 March 2023
I admit I’ve become a convert this Fringe and totally turned on to original, astute female-led comedy! Tonight was no exception when I was able to experience Mandy Nolan and Ellen Briggs in Women Like Us where women’s stories and experiences take centre stage, and in high definition! No delicacy hides the truth here and the audience were with the women, all the way. For me, comedy has to be relatable, far from vindictive, witty, relaxed, and intelligent. These two women certainly bring the goods with subjects ranging from the perils of motherhood, buying bras, country town antics, waxing adventures (not for the faint-hearted), and more politically themed anecdotes. Indeed, Mandy Nolan stood as a Greens candidate for Richmond in the recent Federal election and her passion for human and female rights is certainly contagious.
