Jamie Mykaela: DADDY
The innocent, the nymphet, the groupie and the wh*re collide in a mess of no-holds-barred comedy, rock’n’roll, and signature scathing wit. Perth’s cult favourite comedy-cabaret riot grrrl is ruining all her own - and your dad’s - favourite songs, calling out their singers’ underage backstage exploits, and delving into the wonderful world of 1970s groupie culture. After its smash hit FRINGE WORLD 2020 run and packed-out encore performance, DADDY’s coming home for the very last time - catch Best Comedy and Best Cabaret Nominee Jamie Mykaela before she takes her talents to the UK for good. “Feminist cabaret masterpiece” ★★★★★ Gutter Culture “A must see show, the kind of show that the best of Fringe is made of” ★★★★½ Fringefeed. "A triumph of the Fringe" ★★★★ Pelican Magazine
More about this eventThis show is exactly what I want in a FRINGE WORLD show. It has it all. Humour, feminism, quirky ukulele songs and pure raw talent.
Jamie is a local Perth artist that I have seen a few times at FRINGE WORLD shows over the years. She has developed as an amazing individual with her own unique personality. Her ukulele renditions of old and popular songs arouse strange nostalgia, but the content of her show provokes unexpected emotions.
There’s no sugar coating here, just brutal truths and observations she presents to us in a uniquely entertaining manner.
A strong stage presence and admirable confidence. I absolutely love it when she sings. The whole room would be completely mesmerised when she would be performing her solo on the ukulele, and when she hit those high notes it gave me goosebumps. Not only because she is a good singer, but because she is living the passion behind that song; she feels it and makes the audience feel it too.
I was really impressed with this opening show and the audience loved her too. I encourage you to head along and see her at the Lazy Susan’s Comedy Den.
You must see this show! Chilling, beautiful, funny. The best cabaret I have seen in a long time. Goosebumps!
