Joan Rivers - Work in Progress by a Life in Progress - *****/5
August 7, 2008If you don’t know who Joan Rivers is… you should! She has a VERY impressive and interresting history, which can be reviewed here
.
Her show at the Fringe is fantastic (even though a little pricey… but it’s Joan… so I don’t care). It tells the story of how Joan has had to put up with age discrimination and tells a powerful story of how her home is really on the stage, performing, for the people…. right there and then.
Supported by two very flexible actors, Joan comes into her element while she recants stories from her youth and stories which have moulded her into the amazing person she is today.
Of course… the audience was about 50% homo… but Joan does love her poofy friends, so was more than happy to see us all. So happy in fact that her film crew shoved a camera in my face and interviewed me before we went into the hall.
Fabulous! She’s on tour… go and see her!
By the way… did you know it was Joan Rivers who invented the phrase “Who are you wearing”. This is now used at all award ceremonies around the world from Cannes to The Oscars!
