Alexis Dubus. Melbourne International Comedy Festival. Tuxedo Cat, 17 Wills Street, Melbourne April 7th – 20th, 2014.
UK comedian Alexis Dubus is more than just a comic – he’s a skilled writer, a poet, a storyteller. Perhaps that’s why the audience was in his own words “one of the quietest he’s had”, they weren’t quite sure what they’d stumbled into when Dubus began his show and it became apparent the entire thing was in verse. They quickly settled into the groove, however, hard not to when the storyteller is as affable and engaging as Dubus.
