Laura Daniel - Can You Smell That? Must Be a Queen Going Off!

Laura Daniel emerges Stanley Cup-first, declaring upfront the exact kind of femme-centric millennial comedy she has in store for us. Daniel is all sparkles, eyeliner and immaculate hair in her new show – Can You Smell That? Must Be a Queen Going Off! – which, unbelievably, is her debut solo act at MICF. As a member of the beloved musical comedy duo, Two Hearts, Daniel has long been a stalwart of the scene, but this solo hour offers a fascinating glimpse into the comedian’s personal life. 

Daniel begins by sharing her net worth according to Google; a stratospheric figure that she assures us is no reflection of the reality she’s living. Now in her mid-30s, its a discovery that’s sparked some understandable soul-searching. So, throughout the remainder of the show, Daniel evaluates her assets. From her work in New Zealand showbiz to the physique she cuts, Daniel leaves no stone unturned. 

Using everything at her disposal – a backing track, a beautiful singing voice and the ability to first shamelessly with audience members – Daniel has created a wonderfully lively hour of comedy.
