Three Colours Hammo
Fringe Club
Reviewed: Jan 11
Although many of the punters hunkered down at tables in front of the low stage were comedian Justin Hamilton's fellow Aussies, the stand-up's material was universally accessible.
This second night of his comedic trilogy, performed in its three-hour entirety on Sunday, needed no synopsis of night one. Death was the overriding theme, segueing into belief in God and the fact that life seems not to be a happily-ever-after affair. Hamilton suggested that it's more prosaic than poetic, and after blundering through the day we'll probably arrive home to find that the toilet has flooded.
Claiming to have witnessed three deaths, the chubby thirtysomething recalled the passing of a neighbour, and how he had been scared not so much by mortality as the sudden eruption of gas from the hindquarters of the corpse.
