The Pun

Michael Chamberlin - Buddha & Bluey and Me

Later that night, up the road, down a laneway and upstairs, Mike and I caught Michael Chamberlin’s latest show, a homage to Chamberlin’s lifelong friendships with two mates, Buddha and Bluey. With only about 20-25 people in a venue that could comfortably seat 100, Chamberlin might have struggled. Instead, he proved himself an adroit, engaging and charismatic performer who more than rose to the occasion. While this wasn’t an exceptionally brilliant night of comedy, Chamberlin’s stories of childhood misadventure in the Christmas pagent, inciting a schoolground rebellion over a confiscated football, and a ballet dancer’s testicles raised plenty of laughs. Three happy chortles out of five.

  1. Chamberlin is by far the funniest local we have. I couldn’t recommend this show highly enough for anyone who wants to see a comic that never drops the ball. His review in the Age also seemed to miss how engaging he is.
