Description

The legend of stage and screen returns to Edinburgh for an intimate on-stage conversation. From her vaudeville debut at age five to her breakthrough role in Disney’s Snow White, Smith will take you on an incredible journey through her storied life and multi-decade career, all told with her trademark candour and wit. Warm, funny, uplifting, absurd and 'a highlight of the Adelaide Fringe' (GlamAdelaide.com.au). Accompanied by host and ventriloquist David Salter. 'One of Adelaide's most engaging and versatile performers... self-deprecating, reflective and hysterically funny' (TheatreGuide.com.au). 'Unbelievable talent' (Mindshare.org.au).

One of the best shows I saw this Fringe. Excellent ventriloquism as well as beautiful plots with warm audience interactions. The way to use apples and bring emotional switches was smart. The choice and performance of music pieces adapted so well with the scenes and emotions. The whole story is universally touching. Laughed and cried so much. Highly, highly recommended.

Reminds me of "Between the Ferns" with awkward unbelievably funny set-ups and new comedy that pushes the boundaries of ventriloquist acts and audience involvement into a place of performance art and real lived experience. Gut-achingly funny. I kept wondering...is this real? It's on purpose right? This guy is brilliant...highlighting the hidden humor in our best and worst attempts at "making it." I love this kind of theater, where the lines are so blurred you find yourself along for the ride. I could not stop laughing. I saw it last week, and I'm still laughing.
