This woman spent an hour recounting tales of childhood, parenthood and everything in between. She comes from an enormous Irish family and has contributed five of her own children to the mix, which in itself seems to be ample material for a show. O’Loughlin also insists that the audience understands just how thick and lazy she is, through numerous self-deprecating tales that leave the audience both cringing and laughing.

There is a real sense of conversation to this show, as though you’ve just met Fiona at the pub and she’s decided to confess her most humiliating moments to you. The audience can really relate to O’Loughlin’s awkward situations but breathe a collective sigh of relief that she is the one who has, in fact, lived them. Throughout her performance, O’Loughlin keeps the audience at a constant giggle level, which is regularly interspersed with big laughs.

She posses quite a unique delivery that despite the gravity of some of her topics stills keeps the humour present and alive. The audience is taken on a journey through Fiona’s experiences from Alice Springs to Rome and from infant race relations to a grandfather with roving hands. All these varied topics are delivered with the same unabashed honesty that leaves Fiona playing the fool. I look forward to next year’s show to see what embarrassment and humiliation Fiona has put herself through during the course of the year.
