Greg Fleet – Where’s My Pony?

Greg Fleet – Where’s My Pony?

Greg Fleet has been around the block a few times, he’s done every medium imaginable including stand-up comedy, television, film and radio, plus he’s even written a book. And while Fleety is a widely lauded Australian comedian I must admit I’d never heard of him or any of his comic musings before Where’s My Pony? However, that didn’t stop me from finding him rather amusing, and if anything has now made me curious about the other shows he’s done.

Recalling twenty-one comedy festivals, Greg Fleet presents a ‘best of’ type show that flaunts some of his best routines to date. Fleet exudes confidence and is self-deprecating about how he got to where he is and the experiences he’s had along the way, and reflects upon some of the funniest things that have ever been said to him. Many of the jokes are about his time in rehab and the colourful characters he’s encountered. While at times it seems as though there’s no direction to the show, it still seems to work for Fleet, and is complimented by his decision to invite a different special guest to the stage to perform for ten minutes during each of his shows. Audiences can look forward to seeing not only Fleety, but Harley Breen, Rich Hall and Fiona O’Loughlin just to name a few.

Where’s My Pony? is about the things we think we deserve, and if anyone wants to be so bold as to ask the question “where’s your pony?”, the answer is being in the audience of Greg Fleet and getting a laugh from his twenty-one years in the industry.

    Fleety was fucking awesome this year as usual. Every year I wonder if he can be as good as the last time I saw him and he always is. I’m not sure why you think there wsa no direction though because I think that’s the best bit about Fleety, he just does what he does and you go with it. It’s not like he just bumbles through his material or anything.
