In her latest show Volcano, at about forty minutes in, Tessa Waters promises a damn good story – and on that she delivers. What she also manages to deliver on is an hour filled with improv, physical comedy, and making sure that the audience is having a great time.
Waters spends the hour trying to convince us not to eat her during an apocalypse. With a lack of woodworking skills, and a self-professed inability to run from zombies, she asserts that we would chow down on her “strong Waters thighs” before the apocalypse has truly begun.
Instead, she says that what she does bring to the table is great impromptu skits (this part is true), fun games (the only part of the show that lost a bit of momentum) and great stories – that last one won’t disappoint.
But what sets Waters apart from the others is her attitude and demeanour. She seems to exert positivity, kindness, and a self-confidence that is infectious. She speaks about loving yourself, your body, and owning it as your own (what she terms as being a “badass babe”). It spread over the crowd like a warm and fuzzy hug, and left everyone on a high as they exited the Cupola at the Garden.
Worth a watch this Fringe for a hilariously entertaining night out with a talented comedian.
