Are you an only child?
I'm not - but I'm married to one. I mention this because Aleisha McCormack's show at Melbourne Fringe 'One of A Kind' is all about only children and how different societies and the media depict them.
There are gross generalisations about only children - selfish, pushy, overachievers, those sorts of things. This show tries to address some of those and vent a few frustrations at a society which still considers it cruel to only have one child.
Along the way there are little facts about only children and insights into the life of an only child.
There's an amiability to McCormack's performance which carries the show through and keeps the audience entertained throughout, ensuring that there is never a lull.
This is certainly a show to see if you want a bit of light humour or just want to find out how the other half lives. Alone. With fewer presents.
