"Wes Snelling and Benn Bennett create something unique, absurd and downright infectious."

By Tim Hunter - THE AGE

FRINGE FESTIVAL REVIEW

4 stars

Put two cabaret singers such as Wes Snelling and Benn Bennett together in a stark white room, give them a keyboard, a black bag, a handful of dreadful songs from the 1980s,
and some bad German accents, and look out.

Because they're going create something unique, absurd and downright infectious. Repressed maiden Dominic-a (Snelling) escapes the tyrannical Teutonic clutches of Maximilian (Bennett), with the help of notorious '80s pop legends Martika and La  Toya Jackson, and finds his/her voice in a free mic bar in Hobart, of all places.

Their deadpan German schtick is perfectly pitched here, and it works well with the hilarious and wonderfully performed songs. Snelling is always interesting to watch, and he has the perfect foil in Bennett. Keep your eye on these two; they're sure to remain surprising.
