A satirical musical-comedy show that explores the intricate world of a therapy session and what fitspo, diet-culture and an obsession with success can do to a person. Join actor, comedian and content creator, Charlotte Grimmer as she unpacks both personal experience, observation and her imagination through rap, tap and song. After a successful run at the Sydney, Edinburgh and Adelaide Fringe Festivals, Charlotte is excited to be premiering her show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
“Initial Consult is a show worth watching, and it’s worth skipping other shows for. Charlotte Grimmer plays a character that’s both alien to us and wholly relatable simultaneously, and then there’s music, comedy, shock and tap dancing.”
- 4.7 stars, Andrew Girdwood, Edinburgh Reviews
“Grimmer’s performance is electric…There’s a playfulness in this performance that’s delightful, that’s exciting, that’s surprising, that’s moving. Grimmer’s star is on the ride”
- Rob Carlton, Adelaide Fringe
“Charlotte Grimmer’s heartfelt and personal story is sidesplittingly funny and profoundly moving in equal measure.”
- Kristen Dunphy, Sydney Fringe
