| August 7, 2018 Fringe Review | | Fringe Review Recommended Show | | Low DownThao originally wanted to be an actress but was disheartened because she didn’t see many Asians on TV. The only time she saw a lot of Asians on TV was on Border Security or Bondi Rescue. So she gave up her dream and decided to give stand-up comedy a go.Review“Do you remember the first time a man hit on you?” is the opening line of Thao Thanh Cao’s solo show. It’s a curious and direct question, which sets the tone for the almost one hour performance. This is a coming of age story and Thao tells us about her experiences as a young Asian woman growing up in Australia from her observations of people and their reactions to someone who looks different. Told through brief anecdotes and comedy, the first topic is discrimination.Thao’s demeanour and low-key delivery are interesting – especially for the subject matter she tackles. Her restrained manner is beguiling and edgy, always vital and she makes her points of view effectively. She understands the power of eye contact and uses subtle facial expressions such as a slight tilt of the head or a sneaky smile that speak volumes. Complicity develops between Thao and the audience that provides a flow and rhythm to her stories and humour.... Click Here |
