Chris Ryan: Can't Compain, Town Hall Portico Room, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, 31 March-24 Apr 2022


 Chris Ryan has developed from a Canberra Comedy institution to someone well on the way to being a national institution. She's got a quick wit, and in this show has shaped her show thematically around generational comparisons between herself, her father (with readings from his drafted memoirs) and dealing with her own teenagers. There's an honest truth to her material, and a generosity that brings us into the show - it's not a painful scream of rage or angst, it's fifty-odd minutes of material that feels like hanging around with a particuarly amusing wise friend.
