“It’s impossible to fault Bucket’s List” ***** Melbourne.Arts.Fashion
“Bucket’s List is a great show to take a date to, it’s very funny and sweet and everyone leaves grinning, feeling uplifted, warm and fuzzy.” -Squirrel Comedy
Experience the inner city’s Melbourne Fringe on tour in the Hills – with this dark comedy about love and buckets by award winning Belgrave writer Sarah Collins.
A 5 star smash hit at the 2014 Melbourne Fringe Festival and winner of the Tiki Tour Ready Award, comedian and character actor Justin Kennedy stars in this heartbreakingly hilarious story about love…and buckets. The fourth show by acclaimed writer Sarah Collins (CHOIR GIRL, Donna + Damo) Bucket’s List features a live score, lively possum, and life-sized bucket dream-girl.
"Bucket’s List is a gorgeous and heartbreaking story about love, buckets, possums and weddings.
Buckets (performed by Justin Kennedy and voiced by Felix Nobis) is a simple man with simple pleasures. With a love of dried apricots, he lives alone and, with little connection to his neighbours, his only confidante is an uninterested and surly possum (Rhys Auteri). One day off hitting 20 years at the bucket factory where he works, Buckets is suddenly out of a job when the factory shuts down. With a whole new world in front of him, Buckets decides that the life of a wedding DJ is for him. After falling in love with love, Buckets sets about meeting his ‘dream girl’ and it is here that the story, while taking a turn for the absurd, really hits its stride."- Beat Magazine
Fall in love with the adorable Bucket in this award winning physical theatre piece, narrated by Felix Nobis, with Rhys Auteri providing a live guitar score and doubling as the possum who discovers noisy love before Bucket finds his own hope of a romance.
