An Unexpected Variety Show – Jenny Wynter
Written By Jane Durbridge
What’s the advantage of a Fringe show in a High Rollers room? Leather tub chair comfort! So thanks Jenny for picking a venue that …cares… about the audience experience. 
From the moment Jenny takes the stage, we feel the intimacy of her show as she lets us into her life story – unexpected pregnancy and all. Perhaps it’s that pregnancy that dictates the title for the show? We sympathise through her early childhood tragedy and share her infectious enthusiasm during the highs of her life [or is that the nitrous oxide ] We laugh from the first gag, and continue to chortle through any onstage hiccups or audience faux pas, and finish strongly with her glorious flash dance moment!
] We laugh from the first gag, and continue to chortle through any onstage hiccups or audience faux pas, and finish strongly with her glorious flash dance moment!“I can’t have it all, now I’m dancin’ for my life!”
Actually those lyrics sum up Jenny’s show perfectly….“Take your passion, and make it happen”
Through persistent, dedicated work, Jenny has taken a schoolgirl ability to make people laugh and honed her skills to provide a clever arrangement of witty songs and banter. Her partnership with Matthew Carey (just one man who does not sleep during March) works effortlessly. His musicianship is flawless and plays the perfect straight man for her lines. His simple head tilt or eye roll has us in stitches.
Here’s to a top show… “What A Feeling!”
Jenny has returned to the Adelaide Fringe, as fun as ever, and is on until 17 March 2012 at the Light Hotel, in the High Rollers Room. Tickets here.
