Cougar Morrison

Cougar Morrison
Devilles' Pad, Perth. Strindberg Stages / Fringeworld Festival. 25 Jan - 7 Feb, 2015

Cougar Morrison is a theatrical cabaret by Strindberg Stages and is performed as part of the Fringeworld Festival.

Cougar is somewhat of an alter-ego of performer Clint Strindberg and this show is the story of Cougar's life interspersed with amazing singing and clever banter.  New Orleans born Cougar has studied and performed in France, New York and Australia. The songs are varied and wonderfully chosen and include some songs in French, as befits a Louisiana native.

Supplemented with two lovely leotard clad back-up dancers, the show features fabulous costumes, and is partly a slow strip tease. 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' is a showstopper, while Cougar's performance and reference to Piaf, was my personal favourite. While the mood varies greatly throughout the short show, this is ultimately a wonderful celebration and leaves its audience feeling fulfilled.

A fabulously, friendly feel-good Fringe World show, Cougar Morrison is well worth a look.
