This is a deliciously daft one-man show. It’s the night of the grand re-opening of a fine dining restaurant and the staff are ready to please. And please us they do with Will Tredinnick bringing a wacky assortment of characters to life, regularly disappearing behind the velvet curtain for a quick costume change.

There are elements of Fawlty Towers in Will’s approach and in similar vein, Will subtly but delightfully skewers some clear targets in the fine dining/ celebrity chef world – the obsequiousness of the too anxious waiter, the pomposity and ego of the ‘star chef’, the pretentiousness of the Maitre D’.

It takes a great deal of skill and intelligence to be this silly and Will had us rolling about with some of his antics. His facial expressions are also a hoot – warm yet wacky. Who would have thought that simply eating a mouthful of dry bread could be so funny?

The show includes some audience participation, and on opening night we were fortunate enough to have the lovely Sophie from Leederville as our distinguished guest for the performance. Will worked beautifully with her - perhaps another night it might not work out so well – but I doubt that would be the case with Will’s ad libbing skills.

There’s a fair bit of clowning and in one of many slapstick highlights, salad preparation reaches a new nadir courtesy of Will’s manic approach. Think Mr Gumby meets Gordon Ramsay meets the Muppets' Swedish Chef.

The action is carried along by an evocative soundtrack which enhances the live action on stage.

It is obvious throughout that Will is enjoying himself immensely and this somehow nudges us all towards the giggles and howls of laughter.

If you are into silliness, and let’s face it - a bit of silliness is always a great release, then get along to the State Theatre Centre and catch Will’s show before he takes it off to the Adelaide Fringe.
