Ambitious opera graduate Amy Webber brings a delightful blend of music, role-play, and a hint of job-hunting to the King’s Arms theatre with her stand-up routine.
Webber opens with a playful sing-through of her CV, interspersed with anecdotes that keep the audience laughing throughout. Her ad-libbed lyrics and charming fumbles on her mini keyboard are reminiscent of a genre-bending act you’d see at Eurovision, mixing humour and talent seamlessly.
With an energetic and quick-witted persona, Webber enacts various occupations, from teacher to therapist, and engages in tongue-in-cheek audience interaction. Among the interesting careers in the audience were an engineer and a skyscraper window cleaner, to whom she offered some frivolous networking pointers. A humorous stint with a volunteer from the audience added even more laughs to the evening.
Radio impersonations provide more chortles, although a couple of segments towards the end felt slightly drawn out, concluding on a less lively note. Nevertheless, Webber’s mellifluous voice is a joy to listen to throughout the performance.
Webber plays one more show at the King’s Arms before taking her show to Blackpool. For tickets please visit https://greatermanchesterfringe.co.uk/events/amy-webber-no-previous-experience/
