Jacqueline Mifsud: Sink Full Of Forks (MICF)

Jacqueline Mifsud's story is one of joy and empowerment. Not necessarily because of the way it ends or even Mifsud's genial demeanour, but because it boasts a message of self-love (in more ways than one) and overcoming personal demons.

Her tales of living it up in Paris, coupled with the woes of break-ups and "blanket burritos", are a charming balance of off-kilter and resonant comedy. While Mifsud herself is occasionally victim to the loose threads of some off-the-cuff musings, her stream-of-consciousness style is inviting and easily accessible. If all else fails, the phrase "C'est la vie, dickheads" will surely entertain.

Jacqueline Mifsud presents Sink Full Of Forks til Apr 8 at Tasma Terrace, part of Melbourne International Comedy Festival
