About Double Night of Classy Professional Comedy

Double top-class comedy night

This show is a collaborative arrangement between Just Add Water Programme (Alexandrina Council) and Mt Compass Supper Club.  A big thank you to Jenn Cole.


Georgia Darcy and Louise Lawson

"She'll Be Right Love; I Sing Piaf"

Carol Young (pianist) will accompany Georgia and Louise


G’day & Bonjour!
Bush ballads, budgie smugglers and baguettes bring song and comedy together in this hilarious cross-cultural Cabaret. The Aussie Cabaret show went to France. Georgia sings like legendary French songstress, Edith Piaf, so it should’ve been a piece of cake right? Confident the French would love them, they headed off to France with their swags packed full of glitter and eyelashes, to perform in the greatest Festival of Theatre in the world.

Come on tour with these whacky women to experience the contrast of cultures, musical mash-ups, funny faux-pas and ….the embarrassing French maid incident. Blending Aussie bush ballads, well-known French songs and original music into a culturally comedic melange, this show has it all.


It’s time to tie your kangaroo down sport and slap some camembert on your damper. Grow a moustache (or draw one on), tilt your beret and rendezvous with them!


Everyone who has seen this show has loved it so you are in for a treat if you like comedy


Genevieve Mooy

“Coral Browne:  This F***ing Lady!”

Written by Maureen Sherlock


SHOW DESCRIPTION

The most successful Aussie actor you’ve never heard of! From West Footscray to West End star, Coral Browne was larger-than- life. A renowned acting talent, Coral was almost as famous for her bawdy wit, her glamour, her string of famous lovers – including Paul Robeson and Maurice Chevalier - and her marriage to Vincent Price.


In this critically acclaimed one-woman play, the brilliant Genevieve Mooy (fabulous in The Dish and Frontline) is Coral Browne. She revisits her colourful life and sparkling career - including Auntie Mame, The Killing of Sister George, An Englishman Abroad - and puts this Grande Dame back in the spotlight where she belongs.


Quotes from 2017 Adelaide Fringe

‘A delightful, surprising show superbly presented by Genevieve Mooy … a must see!’  Miriam Margolyes (in an email - she actually knew Coral Browne)


‘A fine actress onstage playing a fine actress ...a classic and classy bio piece which will have legs to play all over the country.’  Samela Harris, The Barefoot Review


'Coral Browne’s story is brought to sparkling life by Genevieve Mooy. With a few props and great charm, Mooy skips blithely through one of the more interesting and unlikely lives of 20th century showbiz.' Diana Simonds, Stage Noise


'A lively portrait of a remarkable woman and a slice of theatre history that is rich in incident and anecdote.’  Murray Bramwell, Daily Review


'Maureen Sherlock has written a one-woman tour-de-force for Mooy, whose fine acting skills are evident throughout. Immense entertainment value.’  Pat Wilson, Glamadelaide
