Jett Bond - Touched On

I can’t prove it, but I'm willing to believe that the powers-that-be at PTV were scared of Jett Bond and that’s how we got free transport in April. I also believe that Jett Bond is one of our most inventive comedic minds.  

In Touched On, Jett makes fun of PSO's in the most entertaining way: by pretending to be one. The performance room of Bard’s Apothecary has become a train, and we’re passengers facing off with a dreaded Public Service Officer – though the Metro Train announcements that interrupt at regular intervals can never agree on where we’re going. 

It’s creative character improv propelled by audience participation, and it's glorious. Jett spends some time in the stage area, but mostly they're in constant motion throughout, variously making conversation and baiting us into committing fineable offences. (Every fine is hilarious in itself; I'll just say that mine evangelised the movie Chronicle.)  

The whole time, Jett invites a distinct ‘yes, and’ energy into the space, clearly revelling in the chance to come up with the funniest possible response on the fly. It also makes audience members feel comfortable engaging with the show, with so much laughter bouncing around the room. 

Touched On is on at 5:30pm at Bard's Apothecary. every day (except Sunday) until April 18.
