On sunday (7th June) I attended a performance at the Brisbane Arts Theatre of ImproMafia's "Agatha Holmes".

Firstly, the theatre itself if exquisite. A real gem hidden away in plain sight on Petrie Terrace.

Secondly, the show as an absolute hoot. ImproMafia, who I have been advised is Brisbane Arts Theatre's resident improvised comedy troupe, creates a new show every month. "Agatha Holmes" was a parody of the Sherlock Holmes/Agatha Christie murder mystery stories. What was amazing was that the performers made the whole thing up as they were performing! The victim, the murderer and the murder weapon were all chosen via secret ballot before the show by the audience and then the players had to weave all these unknown elements into a cohesive story.

I was amazed how well they did. It was funny and engaging. The audience was roaring with laughter at many points in the show. And all for $10!

I highly recommend anything at the Arts Theatre but especially the improvised comedy shows of ImproMafia.

Recently attended the Opening Night performance of a new play by Ian Callinan called "A Hero's Funeral". I was very surprised to see the playwright as part of the audience. He seemed very pleased with the performance of his play as was I. It is perhaps a little 'wordy' but I found that made me pay very close attention to what was being said and as a result, very much enjoyed the production and the story. Staff seemed very pleasant and helpful and the after-show supper provided much better fare than I have experienced at more upmarket venues; and there was plenty to go around. It was overall a very enjoyable evening, not expensive and bar prices are very reasonable. Well Done!!

  It is great to see that the Brisbane Arts Theatre is staying relevant by performing new works from well regarded members of the community such as Mr Callinan.
