Hamer hall, Arts Centre Melbourne
Friday 14th
Alan Davies was relaxed and in fine form at Hamer Hall last night. Sharp observations and reflections on current day to day life as a father of young children were mixed with reminiscences of his own childhood. His relationship with his detailed-minded father (who raised three children after the death of his wife to leukaemia) was grand fodder for comic material. The present day picture of his father now with early onset Alzheimers created the generational book ends in the father-son relationship and we were given insights to all personalities in-between, reminiscent of "My Family and Other Animals" (look it up, kids).
