Mickey D: Gold

Mickey D GoldAdelaide Fringe. The Producers Bar. 22 Feb 2014


Mickey D is a “Champion Bloke”. His advertising literally confirms it, “How often do you get to create your own flyer?” says Mickey. It’s his flyer, so he can put whatever he wants on the front, and he does!


Mickey D is an incredibly natural performer. He instantly makes you feel welcome, like an old friend. Weaving throughout the audience his inclusive manner pulls you in. The show’s contents feels almost adlibbed; it is either the best rehearsed and acted performance, or Mickey is genuinely flying by the seat of his pants and taking his leads from the evening and the crowd; I’m convinced it is the latter.


As a proud former South Aussie there are plenty of local references to keep you laughing. The easily offended might find some of the language a little coarse, but it’s all part of Mickey’s energetic and quick witted style.


As a previous winner of the ‘Best Show’ award, it is easy to see why you shouldn’t miss this show. Get along folks!
