Good Morning Mofo

Malthouse has been transformed into a Comedy Hub, with an inviting relaxed ambiance, to house a number of highly recommended Festival Shows. 

In Good Morning Mofo Comedian Zoe McDonald presents a high-energy work that opens with a punch and doesn’t let up for a second.  She creates and pillories, one of those ‘good morning television shows’, through embodying a number of hysterical, beautifully drawn and skillfully embodied, characters.  

It is women’s week and the production company is taking advantage of this to highlight women’s issues and feature women - a short-lived, rare, novelty unfortunately.

Good Morning Mofois a great fun, slick, show driven by insightful penetrating characterization.  Ms. McDonald shifts seamlessly and deftly from one wacky character to another.  I have to say my personal favorite is the tremendously enthusiastic intern who is working for free but just loving the opportunity.  There is a Les Patterson type female executive, very nauseating know-it-all make-up artist and a highly regarded egocentric anchor.

Ms McDonald wears a stylish pink suit that has an appropriate adaptability for her stable of characters.

There is audience participation – but it is fun and not too terrifying.

A lovely enjoyable show that should get heaps of  ‘bums on seats.’ 

Here’s hoping that Zoe McDonald has a very successful festival.
