SCAREDY KAT Adelaide Showgrounds Until 18 Mar 2012 Review by Aaron MacDonald There’s a reason why Sesame Street achieved such mammoth success and longevity over its contemporaries (and even shows today): it was multilayered, written to entertain not only children, but their parents who would invariably be watching with them. “Scaredy Kat” achieves the same; I laughed more in this show than I did in a lot of stand-up comedy this Fringe. It’s not particularly complex. Kat is scared of going to bed, because of the spooky noises in her room; the noises are made by the furniture, which comes to life when she’s not around. It’s tremendously entertaining; song, dance, physical comedy and lots of poxy light and sound. I could go on, but there’s really only one review that matters – an entire audience of children with huge, beaming smiles at the end of the show. Rating: 4 stars (out of 5)
