Retrospective in Freeload

Frisky Peter Helliar

Light rain for the people in the Michael Buble performance at the Opera House forecourt snags the final call for a taker on the other half of the free pair of tickets for the comedian. Even the people from the farewell party at the building are the kind to pass. As always, alone. Again.

Second half of Peter Helliar's set at @Newtown really makes with the funny. The first half and indeed the warm up act of Paul Calleja really taking its toll. A woman in the seventh row makes a lot of the little jokes. Drunk off her head no doubt.

Helliar appears to be the funniest of the three from the Rove Live gang. Given that the competition isn't stellar to begin with, the comparison is weighted against itself.

Entertaining gig despite the familiar retreads and well-worn areas of the act. Merrick and Rosso were up the back of the audience, spotting them only on the whispers of the couple in front looking for a shot or handshake.
