CHUCK MOORE REVIEWS
One of those “gems from a new comer” that #micf uncovers each year, ‘22’ is a wise, fast paced 50 minutes of wit, wise-cracks and personal optimistic wisdom about the way the world and the person sharing them could yet be. You’ve probably seen the colourful flier/poster, now see Brooke’s show. Its not the musical TayTay tribute/parody pictures may suggest (sorry/ be relieved, depending on your #MelbourneWelcomesSwifties recovery phase), though it does share the same strong spirit. Instead, she joins the kind of brainy comedy posse that also contains the supersonic told spoken word tours of Henry Rollins and the “examine, unpack” smarts of Alice Fraser. Words not music, but as the title says, it is absolutely “Brooke’s version” (and words). Welcome to New York and our host’s “New-New Year('s Eve) Party” (and yes, you should be there), when she decides to apply the knowledge, planning and skills of day job/ corporate roles and learned cleverness (aka education) to rethinking life. But why just stop at her own, even when resuming the dating aps is going so “well”? (And exes keep appearing. And a close friend has to keep asking “what did you do?”) So she doesn’t. Try a manifesto and re-think about how a lot of things could be different. For now, starting with the build-up and hang-over from “Happy New Year” – including minor little things like time, the economy, “2022” (aka the C-word which shall not be named), prejudice.... Oh, ok, fine, and getting a date. Fixing for the better the remaining parts of the world is next. Say when Feb rolls round.... Onstage likable, super smart and super fast paced, with so many memorable one liners and wise/funny “look at that differently” ideas per minute (yes, per minute – audiences, do not take a mental breath) many comedians would be thrilled with 10 Brooke-minutes in their entire hour. Join the fan base immediately, so you can gloat you were there near the start of her comedy career... "Not" to mention when #BrookeForPresident kicks off - hopefully - soon. That’s “22” measurement soon. Meanwhile, here at Melbourne Giggle Gathering (20)25, see ‘22’ the show immediately/“not to be missed” (that’s by any measure immediately)... #brookebeingbrooke
PS: The comedian has a second show in #micf2025 (‘The Brilliance of Broken Glass’), which will surely be just as memorable....
