Alice Fraser is a comedian, writer, podcaster and actor. Alice’s latest show asks the question; What it actually means to be a good man? It turns out that modern masculinity is confusing to a lot of people. Alice looks to dissect the true meaning with the aid of AI, various charts, diagrams and facts and figures . . . An awful lot of research has gone into this show. It’s very impressive!

There is quite a long, by way of explanation, introduction to the show that we are about to see. Alice Fraser is not your average comedian. This is intellectual clever comedy and she’s definitely done her homework!

There are, however, more low brow stories, by way of a case in point, of Alice’s personal trainer back in Queensland. We hear that Jayden has been on a bit of a journey and perhaps demonstrates how men are capable of change.

There is a clever use of a screen with recurring commercial breaks. It reminds the audience that we can sign up for a monthly prescription for personal comedy specials from Alice, just for you. An interesting concept!

It turns out that modern masculinity is a tricky subject but it’s not all bad news because not all men are bad. The show is entertaining and Alice presents her findings with much humour, energy and enthusiasm. Thought provoking comedy.
