Creativity starves insanityStrike it up on the pre show intros and with five on for the finale, the four guests hold long comfortably out front as Hamish Blake waddles out to slather on more make up over the prosthetic face. Zingers fly and Tony Martin hits the current stage of affairs of milking the Lano and Woodley Farewell Tour. Kids, animals and strangers on a strange whim at the precursory bit from the judge's desk.
Finding a rock, Shaun Micallef finds himself found out. Off the trail over a half a dozen kilometres from the map, he cops it sweet with a brunette to share the insides of a very accommodating bear with. Marital disruption is at a minimum while back peddling softly and finding the path of a lie that manages to stretch out well to present at least a modicum of control in the insanity.
One fat red book and it's times in the life of Julia Zemiro from a door out the back of the stage. The transformation as the scene plays out is wildly entertaining as Zemiro shies into and then dispels any hidden shots of tequila. Rubbing out Greg Evans, the streak of madness overwhelms the ensemble enough to have her coming out of a stupor to declare it all her own.
Forcing down a door, crashing through a window and a follow-up with a storming of another door and Martin gets the explosive works on his entrance. Heading a team of special tactics, it's a renovation rescue working the fear and speculation of terrorism into the mix. Straining to keep the eyes from closing from all the laughing. Negotiations run amok and ancient references top off the champagne.
Underneath all that make up, and a weak bladder to mind, Blake farts aplenty as a geriatric celebrating his 85th. Squaring off a table for a chair with and playing up dementia, just a few of the high points that shine as the performance twists and convulses with more and more to lose control of. A fine and perfect setting for conflicting opinions on just what exactly is happening.
Woodley closes out the single performances with a good rogering of his rather effeminate cabin boy. Aboard the deck of a ship, his randy and homosexually care free ways is beyond the realm of the seas. A watermark on the landing that rises and rises to gun and run the helm with the utmost of command.
Ribbing off the carcass of Survivor in a prerecorded segment, their dynamics as a group bonds well to form a nicely thick gel of comedy. Rip one, tear another and the island shakes at the mirth overflowing. Disputes and conjecture make for an effortless base of sideswipe fun.
Chaos and mayhem breaks out in the group challenge. A day at the races with the cast here, there and everywhere. Race course commentary from the likes of Micallef develops the nurturing love of playing on words. Over by a stable, Woodley takes a bareback seat upon a horse and loses the state of the matter. Zemiro, with a flute or goblet of wine in hand leans hard on the drunken drip. Martin clips a jockey and leaves the run of the race course to those otherwise facing backward. Blake sneaks through with asides by the bookies that pay well for those with ears on the wire.
Coming up with the shock and awe of losing one liberty for another, Martin wins the door prize. A crowning triumph in a night with one unusual entrance after another amidst a damn tough night to fight against.
And thus ends the second series.
