As a long-time fan of Tripod, this performance left me a little underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, musically the show was amazing; the audience lapped up a cappella renditions of some great Australian songs. But for a Comedy Festival gig, it was lacking in the laughs department. The trio plus Eddie Perfect played one of Tripod's songs Blueprint, a witty nod to some Melburnians we love to hate. But the rest of the setlist was reserved for covers. Yon was the star of the show, pulling out some ridiculous dance moves and mimes. On the whole, was it entertaining? Yes. Belly-aching laughter inducing? Not this time.
