SARAH KENDALL
Old clever Aussie intelligence with a cruel streak ....
clogs steps up the pace In previous years, Sarah Kendall has focussed her show on the " issues of mental health in Sarah Kendall is Well Balanced. evolution for Earthling and war in. well. War. For 2003. this Aussie star is content to riff on less classifiable topics. though she clearly harbours a thing about serial killers and doesn't appear to like children very much. A worrying combination, that.
Still. if you desperately need to have an act pigeonholed then Kendall is worrying about the past. from the perspective of the future. At least, this is what she does with the key motif of the show. as she takes a break to read letters to herself from a century hence. Her intelligence has been highlighted as the key element which separates Kendall from the pack. but she‘s not so set in her clever clogs way that she won‘t indulge in a bit of sick fun (see those ‘seeing life through a murderer‘s eyes‘ gags again).
One of her sharper stories (and she has a few) looks at her failure to land an acting role due to a slight misinterpretation of the part she was rehearsing for (telling would spoil her joke, and we don't do that here). The irony of the sketch is that she begins it by declaring how rubbish an actress she is. when this is patently disproved by the ease and skill with which she goes into other characters. Eventually. the stand- up stage may not be big enough to contain Sarah Kendall. (Brian Donaldson)
