Marcel Blanch- de Wilt: PLAY: Hilarious Insights Into Growing Up at Producers Cranny – Adelaide Fringe Review

Producers Cranny, Tue 1 Mar Marcel Blanch- de Wilt returns to this years Adelaide Fringe to give us a hilarious insight into his childhood, growing up in a single parent family, his best man’s speech and his relationship with his father. As he begins with a checklist to ensure the content of his show is relatable to the intimate group of audience members you get a sense that what is to come is going to be funny but also not going to be your average childhood story. Blanch- de Wilt begins with the story of his parent’s divorce and growing up with two older brothers and the various forms of torture inflicted upon him once they had finished fighting each other. He also goes into the rather strained relationship he has with his father, but all the while promising he doesn’t have daddy issues. And while he promised the show wouldn’t end in this way we inevitably ended with a Harry Chapin sing-a-long with Cats In The Cradle. While none of this sounds like funny content on paper, the way in which he delivers it you just can’t help yourself from laughing. I’m not sure what it is about him but Blanch- de Wilt makes everything flow and seem so effortless; almost as though he’s not trying to make you laugh, just telling you a story but delivered in the most hilarious way. His ability to turn any story into something funny is one you definitely shouldn’t miss! Sarah Mena Marcel Blanch – de Wilt: PLAY continues at Producers Cranny from 10pm until Sun 13 Mar.
