Peter Morley's No Material Four & Half Star

IF GRAHAM Kennedy was the King of Comedy then Melbourne's Morley is the King of Improv.

Without fear nor favour - or even a microphone - he grabs his audience early and the trip seems to last just five minutes with laughs dashing past like fence posts.

He asks his audience to throw random words at him and he weaves them through various formats: from a mock funeral service; a rap tune; a tarrot reading; and a love song with lyrics based on words from a potential suitor in the crowd.

He plies his medium so well, the audience hardly notices itself steering the show.

Already he's looking good on his promise of no material repeated for the duration of the Fringe. Morley's money is good value for laughs.

In short: cleverly shameless
