Review – Sean Choolburra: 50 Shades of Black

You know those people who are just so full of life that they’re exhausting to watch? That’s the best way I can describe Sean Choolburra to you. The man is energetic and in constant motion, sliding back and forth across the stage and beaming at the audience the whole way through his show.

I attended on a day when more than a few audience members were quite young, which Choolburra liked to see, because he performs a set that is totally family friendly. He touches on mature subjects, but never in an inappropriate way or through the use of inappropriate language, which I’ve come to appreciate over the Festival is something of a rarity.

Another interesting thing about Choolburra’s set is that he punctuates his comedy with patches of dancing. Usually, they serve the jokes, but I’m sure some of them are thrown in so he can keep showing off his dancing, because he is pretty damn good at it. And he knows it.

A great young comic with a show for the whole family, Sean Choolburra is performing every day except Mondays until the 21st of April.
