An Evening with Dame Granny Smith

In conversation with ventriloquist David Salter.

The legend of stage and screen returns to Adelaide for an intimate on-stage conversation. From her vaudeville debut at age five to her breakthrough role in Disney’s Snow White, Smith will take you on an incredible journey through her storied life and multi-decade career, all told with her trademark candour and wit. Warm, funny, uplifting, absurd and "a show you’ll remember for many years to come." Glam Adelaide

★★★★★ "one of the funniest shows I've seen for years...his ventriloquism is next level." Comedian Alan Davies

★★★★½ "a lovely, lovely show! Sweet but with plenty bite, old but still sassy, hilarity and bittersweet poignancy." Bruce on the Fringe
