The Bike Trip: Martin Dockery – The One-Man Storytelling Machine at Tuxedo Cat – Adelaide Fringe Review

Tuxedo Cat - Rivers Studio, Thu 25 Feb American performer Martin Dockery brings a unique storytelling adventure to the Adelaide Fringe; a re-creation of history's first LSD experience (apparently based on a true story!) From his voice projection all the way to his hand and feet movements, Dockery puts his entire body into an energetic and enthusiastic performance. The act certainly has a frantic pace to it. It is an extremely descriptive and fast paced monologue, but Dockery brings his tale to life magnificently at this pace without ever breaking rhythm. At one point he walked through the audience and all eyes followed him intently. Dockery clearly took control of the Rivers Studio and had the full attention of the crowd from start to finish. Although The Bike Trip islisted as a comedy in the Fringe guide, Dockery brings a lot more than laughter to the Rivers Studio. This is a surprisingly poignant show in certain moments with some very intimate and profound recollections that had the audience deeply engaged in the story. The Bike Trip is a tremendously funny show with some heartfelt tales mixed in; Dockery is a one-man storytelling machine worth seeing!
