Amy Hetherington’s show started on a sweet note—quite literally—as she handed out lollies to the audience, a small but thoughtful touch that immediately set the tone for a fun and welcoming night.
One of Hetherington’s greatest strengths is her confidence on stage. She has a warm, engaging presence that makes you feel like you’re catching up with a friend over a few laughs. Her enthusiasm is infectious, and it’s clear she loves what she does.
Much of the material revolved around her experiences as a mum raising a three-year-old in Darwin. While some of the humor felt a little niche—particularly for those unfamiliar with parenthood or the Northern Territory—it was evident that many in the audience deeply connected with her stories. Even so, her quick wit and sharp observations ensured plenty of solid laughs along the way.
Not every joke landed for me, but her energy and delivery kept things enjoyable throughout. Comedy is always subjective, and her style would undoubtedly resonate strongly with those who share her experiences.
The final pun wrapped things up nicely, leaving the audience with a smile. Overall, it was a lighthearted and entertaining show led by a performer who genuinely loves making people laugh. Even if not every moment hit the mark for me, Hetherington’s charm, confidence, and warmth made it an easy and enjoyable watch.
