Charismatic Kitty by Linh
Following her successful standup comedy show Charming and Alarming last year, Kitty Flanagan and her sister, Penny, return to the Adelaide Fringe Festival with her new comedy show called Hello Kitty Flanagan. This show is much funnier, topical, has fully-clothed burlesque dancing and Kitty duet-singing with Penny (who only appears in the final ten minutes). It also has nothing to do with the popular female white Japanese bobtail cat with the bow in its hair. However, Kitty does mention her own cat named Sarge and her dog named Henry.
Kitty shares some of the funniest and embarrassing moments about herself and her interactions with others. Some of the hilarious highlights include her bald and flaky-scalped ex-boyfriend’s unpleasant toilet habit, her generosity of apple-giving to a “mungry” homeless person, and her interview with a journalist on being a role model. These are only some of the humourous moments that have made Kitty realise her authenticity is being challenged, particularly her status as a single woman living alone with furry-children.
Kitty summed herself up as a “pain in the arse with too many rules”, which is why she reckons she’s still single. Kitty shares her thoughts and observations in an analytical and intellectual manner but it is all for laughs. She reckons having pets are better than having children, women in toilets should not be talking, and how lyrics in rap songs may be anti-women. Kitty has two songs that may not be rap or have prejudice lyrics, but they are very funny and Penny sings along while playing guitar. The songs, ‘Teach The World To Shut Up’ and ‘I Wish I Had Religion’, are the finale of a fantastic stand-up, dance-around, comedy show, and generally summarises Kitty’s clever and comical perspective on people, pets and human nature.
Kitty confidently espouses her wisdom on practically any subject and no topic is too hot for her to poke fun at or laugh about. She has made audiences guffaw with delight and attracted a fan base from her appearances on television shows The Project and Good News Week. However, she is at her best and most animated when performing live on stage. Kitty is the thinking person’s comedian who also likes to laugh at the absurdities in life, and she happily shares these thoughts if you like rapid-fire wit delivered with side-splitting humour.
