12:11 4/4/01 The Whore Whisperer - Mishel Laurie In this show Mishel Laure relates her experiences of working at 8 different brothels in Melbourne as a receptionist over a 3 three period. The stage is set up to look like a reception area and Mishel starts the show by acting out what it's like to be a receptionist at one of these places (which means she is talking to people of the stage a lot who existence is implied, something which you have to accept if you want to 'get' the show.) In between these set piece action sequences, she talks to the audience about working as a receptionist in the sex industry and even has some interaction with the audience (which provided one of the funniest moments of the show the night I saw it.) All in all it was a good show, although not as joke-packed as other shows you will see at the Comedy Festival. If you want to experience something different,it would be worthwhile to see this show.
