Til Death (or Court) Do Us Part

Review by Ethan Gallagher

Til Death (or Court) Do Us Part is a dynamic, energy filled cabaret that delights any Fringe audience lucky enough to see it. This cheeky cabaret-comedy provides a full spectrum of entertainment, with songs, scenes, bubbles, and even a little romance.

I was completely taken with the energy of Jai Cameron, who delivered witty punchlines and soothing melodies with the precision of a seasoned wedding celebrant (which he actually is). Although not every punchline landed perfectly, there were many laughs to be found, and I was smiling ear-to-ear throughout the performance. Cameron uses his experience and insight as a celebrant to bring the audience into his views on love, relationships, and sexy internet catfishers.

I also particularly enjoyed the character of sparkie Prince Charming, performed brilliantly by Josh Tooth, who somehow managed to match Cameron’s cutting banter with his own laid back charisma. Tooth added a more mellow, emotional beat to the performance that provided the perfect foil to Cameron’s cynical views on love, and even pulled out a guitar to cement himself as the picturesque ‘Prince Charming’ Cameron had been searching for.

Til Death (or Court) Do Us Part was a great time in Footscray. Cameron ended his show by remarking that he “hopes our cars are all still there”, the last of many laughs cementing that Cameron has a natural talent at engaging and entertaining an audience, one that I’m excited to see him use in the future.
