Fringe Comedy

EMMA KRAUSE – 40+ FABULOUS

Redefining Resilience: A Perth Comedian’s Remarkable Journey to FRINGE WORLD. Perth comedian Emma Krause has conquered her fears and is set to captivate audiences with her upcoming debut FRINGE WORLD show, 40+Fabulous.

 This enlightening comedy hour is the culmination of Krause’s transformative journey into the world of stand-up, promising to entertain and inspire all who attend, 19 January – 17 February 2024.

 Krause, a former teacher, has achieved remarkable success since starting comedy at age 40: touring the country as a member of award-winning comedy trio The Motherhood (also performing at FRINGE WORLD); appearing as a 2019 finalist on Australia’s Got Talent; and starring as Sue Finley in the Oz Loto “Loteree” commercials.

 Krause reflects on her comedy journey, explaining none of it would’ve happened, had she not overcome her limiting beliefs and fears – the first one being a fear of public speaking. “My fears were huge. I had to talk at a school assembly once. I was sweaty and dizzy beforehand. My hands were shaking so badly, I couldn’t even hold the microphone still,” said Krause. With persistence and determination, Krause has silenced the inner fears that once held her back.

In 40+Fabulous she outlines the ups and downs of this personal journey and celebrates the growth and success she has found along the way. “I didn’t realise how comedy would transform so many areas of my life. In the beginning, I just knew I wanted to try it, and it scared me. Seven years on, I have this confidence, resilience and strength I’ve gained because of it. For me, the fulfilment has been not in achieving my goals but in who I’ve become in pursuit of them.” Audiences can expect an evening filled with laughter, connection, and the realisation that doubts and insecurities should never hinder one’s pursuit of their dreams.

 Emma Krause will perform 40+Fabulous throughout January and February at the Balmoral Hotel in Vic Park, Ivy & Jack and The Laugh Resort Comedy Club in Perth city, The Sail & Anchor in Fremantle, and The Kalamunda Hotel.

The interview was done by Malti Elliott with Emma Krause.

BERNIE DIETER’S CLUB KABARETT

We entered the room to a band playing rather loud music. Then Bernie Dieter arrived in all her glory and had the audience eating out of her hands in a matter of minutes. She circulated amongst the crowd and performed some wild and wacky moves which really got the audience into a mood for a terrific night.

Let me give you a quick review of the amazing mind boggling gymnasts who performed the most difficult moves and acts.

The first act was a gymnast who played with fire. She put fire in her mouth, brushed it along her body and basically terrified the audience with her outstanding ability to play with fire. The fire eater also happened to be a trapeze artiste and among the most outstanding acts that she performed was being suspended by her hair which was made into a top bun. She did some breathtaking acts on the trapeze. This had to be seen to be believed. We all had our hearts in our mouths hoping she would not fail and of course she didn’t.

By this time tension had reached fever pitch, so Bernie Dieter came along in an exquisite fur coat and sang some lovely songs – that cooled the audience down a lot.

Bernie was followed by an aerial trapeze artiste who again performed mind boggling tricks. He even stood on his head on the trapeze rope and performed some amazingly agile moves.

This was followed by the policeman who went behind a round curtain and changed into a femme fatale. She was so comfortable in her body and paraded her wares with absolute aplomb.

The pole dancing was another delight. The artiste was so flexible you would have thought he had a rubber body.

And finally we had the most beautiful lady from Africa (I think) who performed the most amazing stunts and moves.

All in all this was an amazing show. It was beautifully choreographed, brilliantly put together and a complete delight to watch. If there is only one show you can attend, let it be this one. You would never REGRET the decision. I never give five stars to any event but this one truly deserves it. You could not fault it anywhere

THE FRINGE PREVIEW AT THE LAUGH RESORT

This cosy little comedy lounge at Yagan Square is a MUST VISIT venue because it hosts a lot of really amusing, hilarious comedians. This longest running and unique comedy club has Dianah Star as it’s manager. She does a tremendous job of getting some of the best acts at the Fringe to perform at her set up. This unique not-for- profit comedy club is definitely worth more than a visit. You will fall in love with its cosy, intimate setup and friendly relaxed staff.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to the Fringe preview night which of course was a complete sell-out. It was varied, interesting and of course extremely funny. Lets me give you a brief rundown of some of the acts and then you decide for yourself.

MARK CANNY has been described as a self professed dad joker and dark humour connoisseur. He is definitely cheeky, irreverent and proves that fatherhood is not really that bed of roses that it is proclaimed to be specially if you have a slightly less intelligent child. Come and check it out. A good laugh indeed.

TOMAS FORD is a highly strung packed with energy guy that has an interesting line up of stories which he does in song, about his leap from daggy dad to Australia’s newest gay icon (that’s how he describes himself). Definitely a different approach to comedy but enjoyable none the less.

ALIYA KANANI is a Canadian comedian who believes in the motto” Manifest what your heart desires” and she definitely shows us how she does this in her 5 minute presentation.

EMO MAJOK is that famous African Aussie who made good at a really young age. He was the Patron Pick at the Toronto Fringe and had a sold out run. He talks about his life story with reference to the culture clashes that often occur. Interesting, thought provoking and extremely amusing.

SONNY Yang is a child of Burmese Australian immigrants and he seems to be a serious, sober man. I could not make out much from his 5 minute presentation which is sometimes too short to make a reliable judgement. However, he has been described as a absurdist comedian and comedy writer who is a master of keeping things funny (The Australian Times). Go and judge for yourself.

MARIAH O’DEA is a pocket sized rocket who is extremely funny and interesting. She spoke about her daily morning cleansing rituals which were so relatable and amusing. Her other shows however speak about her being a gym junkie and taking a break from social media by being on social Media. Figure that one out or go and see her show???   

EMMA KRAUSE was however my favourite for the evening. This school teacher and mum of twins talks to us about her experience teaching kids at a Midland school AND also bringing up twins. Belly aching funny and a MUST SEE.

I have just given you a very brief rundown of the night because that was what it was. Five minutes to make up one’s mind if one wanted to see a show or not. However, I have to say all the comedians did a great job and the audience seemed to love every minute of the show. DO NOT MISS this great venue and you MUST CHECK OUT SOME OF THE ACTS. They were absolutely terrific.
