Laura Davis: Cake in the Rain

Overview

A cult favourite on the local stand-up scene, the comedy of Laura Davis is at once baffling, confronting and uproariously entertaining. Her show at last year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival saw her deliver jokes from the top of a ladder while wearing a blindfold. On paper it sounds like a gimmick; in execution it was one of the funniest and most disarming acts we saw all festival. Her follow-up is titled Cake in the Rain, and we haven't the faintest idea what it's about. But you can bet your bottom dollar we'll be there opening night.
