At this year’s Comedy Festival, Dani Cabs will take you on a journey of self-discovery

Words by Mia Casey

The eccentric and hilarious Dani Cabs invites you on an emotional flight at The Butterfly Club Downstairs this April for his Melbourne International Comedy Festival show Poncho: Keep it up!

Dani is based on the Gold Coast and is returning to Naarm/Melbourne to perform his new show. The rather spectacular comedian uses physical comedy and social commentary to explore the realms of gender, sexuality and identity for an hour-long, side-splitting performance. Claire Alcock from Nothing Ever Happens in Brisbane described it as enthusiastically educational, unashamedly erotic, and joyfully, juicily inclusive.”

With tears of laughter, Poncho is a show of sensuality and educating audiences about the self. Using his celebrated style of clowning meets risqué; this show is about inclusive humour and Dani’s rawest life advice. As an Adelaide Fringe Artist Fund recipient this year, his unique and energetic work continues to be critically acclaimed throughout the industry.

Dani is a previous nominee for Best Emerging Artist for his show Who is Dani Cabs? at the Adelaide Fringe Festival, Poncho Orange in 2016, and Weekend at Barnie’s with Barnie Duncan, which won the Anywhere Theatre Award. Xpress Magazine described his work as “wonderful weirdness and endearing sincerity amid its perfected theatrics and moments of comedy gold.” Poncho’s success is a testament to Dani’s intelligent humour and ability to reach audiences.

The Butterfly Club is a perfectly titular venue for his show, as Dani takes you through an exploration of his growth journey, just like a metamorphosis. The show is on from April 3 through to April 13. Tickets are on sale now, don’t miss the extravagant opportunity to see Poncho: Keep it up! live this Autumn.
