Australian Comedy Review (Groggy Squirrel):
The token female for the show, Julia performed a ten minute set. Her presence was a wonderful contrast the slightly blokey (mainly Chris’ influence) and geeky (Dom’s obvious contributions) material which was to follow. This Londoner presented some expected gear on Australia but it was mostly a bracket of perky yet bitchy and cynical material which had the audience cackling throughout. She played up on the “how could this lovely young lady have such vicious thoughts” angle perfectly.

This was an entertaining hour featuring three solid performers.

RHUM:
With the inclusion of special guest Julia Clark (UK), things started to get going. Clark’s confessional style and endearing observations of post-relationship night-life drew the audience’s attention from where it had been on the chewing gum on the floor to the talent on the stage making us laugh. Clark doesn’t have her own solo show but we are sure to see more of her in the future.

I was also offered a spot in the Best of British showcase at the Exford Hotel.

Australian Stage:
With the energy of a devilish pixie, Julie Clark takes to the stage to relate her experiences as a single Brit adrift in late-night Melbourne. Her well-timed lonely-hearts routine had us groaning with each raunchy punch line. We can enjoy more of her filthy wit in Crossing Over at the Portland Hotel.

Here’s the blurb from festival website:

Pop! The best new talent in Australia, hand picked by the Comedy Festival, is exploding – quietly – in The Comedy Zone this year.

Lo-fi, elaborate conceits unfold like origami, with punchlines with the kick of some wildly funny wasabi.

Featuring four exciting, fresh new acts: Julia Clark (NSW), Laura Davis (WA), Neil Sinclair (VIC) and musical duo Smart Casual (NSW).
