INFINITE JEFF - 8 & 9 October at Little Andromeda
25 September
2019
Comedian is Beside
Himself
Doing an
hour-long solo show is a daunting task for any performer;
fortunately Jeff Clark is bringing himself along for the
ride.
INFINITE JEFF is a comedic exploration of
“all the Jeffs there could have been” as Clark
incorporates stand-up, sketch and improvisation to embark on
a one-man quest through the multiverse. Jeff plays a range
of characters based on himself - if he had made different
choices along the way.
“We have Jeff the
Marketing Guy, Jeff the successful author as well as a Jeff
who learned to play the piano,” says Clark. “Everyone
always wonders ‘what if?’ - I’m particularly bad at
second-guessing myself - so it seemed like a fun concept to
use for the show.”
Clark has worked hard to keep
an “organic, improvised feel” to INFINITE JEFF.
“Improv is where I come from and I want a show that keeps
that connection with the audience.” To that end, “a good
chunk of the show involves the ‘Wheel of Jeffs’, where
the characters are chosen completely at random and can
include Jeffs suggested by the audience.”
As the
opening of the show at Little Andromeda looms on October 8,
Clark’s penchant for second-guessing has come into full
force. “Every day I swing wildly between ‘this is going
to be a total trainwreck’ and ‘this is going to be heaps
of fun’, “ he says. “Either way it will be
entertaining.”
