MOTORBOAT

***BEST COMEDY award winner at Adelaide Fringe 2024.***

Motorboat is Mel McGlensey’s multi-award winning debut clown show. Directed by Sharnema Nougar with consultation from John Luke Roberts and game design consultation by Douglas Wilson, MOTORBOAT is a silly, sexy, stupid hour coming to a festival near you!

Batten down the hatches, winch the sails and seal your porthole! It's time for the silliest, most outrageous, nautical show ever made where a woman gets onstage and pretends to be a boat for an hour.

Here’s what reviewers have had to say about it…

★★★★ “Imagine a female Benny Hill, delightfully titillating while masterfully clowning, and smiling complicity… if you want to know what the Fringe is all about: innovation and pushing the arts to new heights, then make sure you book a ride on this cruise ship, Mel’s Motorboat.” - Clothesline Magazine

★★★★ “A delightfully bizarre journey… Unabashedly sexual and silly, McGlensey is hilarious from the very first honk of the horn to the final climax. She offers a fresh and fearless brand of physical comedy, commanding the room… fast-paced, high-energy, and unpredictable... MOTORBOAT sweeps you up, spits you out, and leaves you wondering why your face hurts so much.” - The List
