Joseph Green
Mushroom Lady & Me
Wednesday 8 April
7.00 PM
House of Maximon
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five Stars
Tucked away in a little alley way just off Little Bourke St, sitting above Berlin Bar is the House of Maximon, a dark, atmospheric little bar where this evening’s show is about to proceed.
Opening the show with a quick little sketch is Casey Filips, an utterly absurd yet completely brilliant warm up that requires audience participation. It gets the audience ready for what is about to unfold.
Joseph Green, a tall and wiry character exploding onto the stage, where he shares with us the funny tale of his chance encounter with Erin Patterson.
Having studied law for a whopping 18 years ( one must wonder how many side quests Green took along the way) we hear about his time as an Associate to the Judge on the biggest murder trial Victoria has ever seen.
He regales us with tales of his time working at the Supreme Court, and like an ADHD child distracted by a squirrel we get a few side quests thrown in for effect- which works perfectly.
What ensues is nothing short of utter absurd hilarity, side splitting laughter delivering constant jokes at his expense.
Green is brilliant at telling these haphazard stories, that makes the audience wonder- how the fuck did he end up here? Thankfully his tales are so funny, we are laughing the entire show.
Joseph Green seems to have lived a few lives in one, and this makes for a fantastic show, brilliantly delivered and executed.
In such a serious world of the Supreme Court, Green brings utter chaos all delivered with perfect comedic timing. Drawing on his own personal experiences and his haphazard way of moving through the world, his life is the perfect comedy fodder.
Joseph Green’s Mushroom Lady & Me is a wonderful show that has you laughing from the moment you sit down, till the moment you leave.
Now Showing until April 19
