Rubee Sookee is a big funny girl, on stage again with her new fourty-five minute stand-up sketch comedy show, part of the 11th Sydney Comedy Festival.

It  was a sold out opening night performance, featuring a constant flow of clever and very funny short comedy scenes, keeping the audience laughing throughout. The comedy was interspersed with her cleverly choreographed dance routines, with inspired help from her forever loyal back up dancer, Levi.

Rubee’s imaginative life choices, easily created a patchwork of related comedic episodes.  created lots of laughter and applause.

Rubee Sookee’s never-ending cast of her comedy creations, those cute and rude furry creatures included Colin the bear, Kevin the frog, and many more, with punch-lines from off-centre sketches about life, worms and marsupials.The characters were all voiced by Rubee.

IT’S RUBEEEEEE IN LIGHTS is playing the Matchbox, a tiny 53 seat studio space at the Factory Theatre. There was one more performance, this Saturday night at 7pm.

Once we were old enough, my parents took the whole family to the Sydney CBD cinemas every week. Thus began a lifetime interest, in going to the cinema every week, and became a passionate cinephile by watching all those very heavily edited ''Australian Film Censorship Board'' true cinéaste versions of brand new release ''Cinematograph Films''. Greater Union always gave my father (who worked in Cinema Distribution Exhibition) guest double movie passes, to every first-night ''red carpet Opening Night'' at The State Theatre Cinema at 49 Market Street. Up until his death, my dad always received ''two house seats'' for every Opening Night performance events at the Theatre Royal SYDNEY and at Her Majesty's Theatre SYDNEY. As a child, when mum choose not to go, I often went with him, to those live performance events. As a young child, I remember being taken for each new show, at both The New Theatre at 60 Sussex Street, and the Phillip Street Theatre when located at 150 Elizabeth Street, and for classical music concerts at Sydney Town Hall. = = = ★★★★★ = = = Being happy is a choice, and I have always viewed my life, as material ready be made into a series of amazing tentpole movies. My New Years Resolution is kept every year: ''Get to see/review five new live theatre shows each week, and get to see/review six new cinema movies each week'', plus is one of the Australian Cinema Pioneers, and apparently have seen far too much already, but always wanting to experience more and more each year. I am also able to do almost everything that I enjoy doing.
