THEATRESPORTS ALL STAR GALA 2022 @ ENMORE THEATRE

For the last night of the 2022 Sydney Comedy Festival, THEATRESPORTS ALL STAR GALA has improvising delicious side-splitting comedy delights. This show fully delivered massive entertainment with all the amazing all-improvising all-star quick-witted comics.

Spectacular improv comedy scenes/stories/songs and complimented by clever improvised music, all unrehearsed and imagined into life by the quick witted comic teams. THEATRESPORTS ALL STAR GALA provided each specific challenge, each time with crazy quite ridiculous restrictions, much like those seen on television with shows like “Whose Line Is It Anyway?” and “Thank God You’re Here”.

Skits were initially timed to be 2 or 3 minutes each, and these constantly fast remarkable and inventive performers, and in their uncontrolled way, they plunged unhesitatingly and fluently into their improvisations.

Great comedy usually requires a fully staffed “writers room” with twenty plus skilled comedy writers, all tasked with creating all of the ninety minutes of comedy. THEATRESPORTS ALL-STARS is always so much better than having a “writers room”.

YES unscripted comedy defies the paradigm that “it is extremely difficult to prove a negative” however they faithfully misuse improv to stunningly improve on the proposed negative situation of the skit, and caused continuous howls of laughter from the audience.

The best of their best hilarious improv, constantly extremely funny and totally overboard with laughter galore. To those with the unlimited imaginations of these master-class improv comics, there are no restrictions. Highly Recommended.

Hosted by Adam Spencer and Jeromaia Detto.

STARRING – Amanda Buckley, David Callan, Ewan Campbell, Kate Coates, Daniel Cordeaux, Rebecca de Unamuno, Sarah Gaul, Scott Hall-Watson, Rob Johnson, John Knowles, Jeff Mesina, Lisa Ricketts, Ru Halwala, Kate Wilkins, Linette Voller, and Adam Spencer also added his improv talents to the show. YES COVID-19 – there were a lot of late late cast changes, and everyone involved now gets a mention.

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. Yes, I do have a great daytime job in I.T. as ''Software Design Project Manager'', PLUS each evening until quite late - - - Australian Cinematograph Films historical censorship consultant - product-placement consultant - mystery-shopper consultant - playwright, writer, author, director, producer, photographer, cinematographer, color-grader, subtitles proofreader - arts/ drama/ music/ film critic and judge, journalist, member FIPRESCI & FCCA & AFCA, member AACTA accredited film reviewer-critic-writer, accredited IMDB.COM critic-reviewer-author, projectionist, plus an innovative iconoclast - - - ★★★★★ LYNN BELVEDERE ★★★★★ - - - [usr 5] - - -
