Russell Kane bursts on stage to his first Melbourne audience since 2011 with gusto and a stopwatch.

Kane's rapid wit, set material and delight in bantering with the audience all compete in an energetic hour titled Smallness. Kane begins by getting to know us with a bit he later cheekily refers to as 'praising the audience'. The British comedian uses observations of Melbournians and Australians to serve as a hilarious platform of comparison for his distinctly British material. The effect is genius and we can't stop laughing at ourselves, the Americans, the British, blokes, ladies and everything in-between. Kane is a skilled improviser and storyteller who knows how to relate to his audience.
