Mel Buttle: Not Here To Put Socks On Centipedes
Today, 6.30pm and 8.30pm, Heath Ledger Theatre, Northbridge
The much-loved comedian who is famous for her much loved “Mum” character Lyn, returns. “You know when you’re in a cafe and someone comes in who’s friends with the owner, and they’re chatting and laughing, and you’re just standing there, clenching your toes in your shoes,” Buttle writes of this show. “Well, I hate that feeling. This is a show about things like that. Maybe going to the dump also gets a mention. That’s as specific as I can be.”
