Description

WINNER 'Take a Chance Adelaide' Award, Adelaide Fringe 2024. Tobias Finlay-Fraser is the greatest actor of his generation. Only problem is, he's played by little-known actor/comedian Casey Filips. Virtuoso is a one-man comedy hour following the trials and tribulations of a pretentious idiot doing anything he can to win over the crowd, finally claim his overdue Oscar and save theatre from the cultural abyss. 'The Australian Genius' (Philippe Gaulier). 'Outrageously funny' (Time Out, Melbourne). 'Delightfully delivered with all pretensions by a very talented performer' **** (GlamAdelaide.com.au). '... an absolutely stupid and hilarious show. Don't miss it' (TheatreTravels.org).

We ended our fringe with this show, and didn't expect much, however it was a real hoot. Casey is clearly a loved clown amongst his peers and this is understandable. Frustratingly, the audience members he picked definitely wanted the limelight a little too much, but he did well to keep control! Very playful and enjoyable.

For me out of a very strong list of shows this year this was clearly the stand out winner. Extremely well crafted and how he manages to keep in character with a straight face is beyond me. Very, very funny and what shows why the Fringe is so good. Highly recommended.

WOW...An hour with a master, Casey Filips' is a Virtuoso. I was laughing throughout the whole hour and at the same time was so impressed by his acting ability. This is an hour you don't want to miss.
