Every Single Thing in My Entire Life, Zoe Coombs Marr, Token Events and Triple R, Melbourne Town Hall, Powder Room, Melbourne International Comedy Festival, 28 Mar-21 Apr


 Zoe Coombs Marr is a standup who’s also a performance artist – which means any show she does has a broadly theatrical approach, as well as a fair bit of “is she trying this on or not”. In this case, again, it’s a “things that happened to me recently” show, though in this case it’s expanded to cover … well, everything since she acquired self-awareness. It’s as much a show about how her brain works as it is about the titular topic – and Marr’s brain is a wild and eclectic place that touches on everything from childhood to personal pre-occupations to her long-term relationships to a particular 1999 music video. It’s a show for spreadsheet nerds, for people who have a favourite database as well as for anybody who’s lived a life and has tried to make sense of it all.
