Tanya Losanno @ Uni Cinema
8:45pm, Mon 23 Feb 2004
Score: 6
Short Review: Competent
Tanya Losanno, the 10-years-running Miss Campania, walked onstage in a very functional manner and delivered a solid routine that was only lacking an appreciative audience.
Using her parents – principally, her mother – as a constant source of mirth, Losanno flirted with the pressures placed on her by Italian society, amidst the nightclub (singular) of Canberra, and how her life changed for the… er… different when she was entered into a beauty pageant without her knowledge.
Losanno has worked together a decent script for this show – but what it really, really needs is an audience with an infectious giggle. That was missing this evening, but you could do worse than to dragging a bunch of mirthful friends along to catch this show. And you never know – you might be lucky enough to be crowned a beauty queen yourself, complete with bicycle-helmet tiara ;)
