Kiosk is a new outing for Melbourne boy Wes Snelling, and is an excellent showcase for his ever-developing skills as a performer. Less a cabaret show, more theatre-based, it’s an exploration through song of his childhood; a story about growing up in the Kyneton Caravan Park and the characters who lived there.

If you’re a fan of Snelling’s work, then you’ll definitely enjoy the opportunity to watch him push himself as a performer, relying on his acting skills and a handful of simple props – a handkerchief, a hat, a handbag – rather than full costumes, to convey the progression from character to character: Diane, a grotesque mother, the dim-witted Tony, the shrewish Leonie from Niddrie, and Tina, an aging alcoholic singer…

Live music is provided by a band dressed as workmen on the under-construction bypass road that will sound the death knell for the caravan park; and a scene in which young Wes eavesdrops on their raucous conversation is rich with homoerotic subtext.

Treat yourself at Kiosk – it’s great.
