My mission was to review the Gigalees show at the Trades Hall New Ballroom for the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Now as a 42-year-old, I was not sure the best way of approaching this. How do I know if this kids' show was any good? What do I look for? Moreover, would I look out of place if I didn't have any kids there with me? Therefore, I decided to take my trump card to the show, my 5-year-old son Liam. If his non-stop giggling and dancing is any indication, then the Gigalees are a hit.

So entertaining (for staff as well as students) and perfectly pitched to kindy level. Children were very taken with the juggling skills. Great to have a show that was simply fun rather than having the usual serious message underlying the act. The children were continually engaged...
