Cover blown, I repeat, cover blown!!

I suppose I brought it upon myself by sitting in the front row, but some perfectly innocent crowd work from Sez midway through her set led to the discovery that I was in fact.. A REVIEWER!

Completely enraptured by her bubbly chaos, brutally honest self-reflection, and the beautiful reverence with which she plays the harpsichord, I had been having a wonderful time! 

With 30 more minutes of material to get through and the sudden threat of a bad review sitting less than a metre from you, many performers would buckle under the pressure, but not Sez! 

Her increasingly comical desperation to pull out all the stops and make sure I was pleased at all times only emboldened her material, and my fellow audience members loved being brought along for the ride. 

It wasn’t until after the show that I was able to give her a huge hug, and my assurance that any comedian who can rhyme sommelier with chlamydia has nothing to fear.

Sez is performing at The Victoria Hotel, 7:40pm (6:40pm on Sunday).
