12 08 07 - Lovely Marysia not only performs in her Primitive Man 
show at Fringe 2007 but is also compere and booker for 26 or so 
nights of the flagship Midnight Carousel, a burlesque, cabaret and
debauchery review show at C. Introducing the acts of the night with
songs from her own show and some light, self deprecating quips, you
will see a funnier side to Marysia who is in fact a pretty funny, 
deadpan and dry comedienne as well as a notable singing siren! On 
this particular night we were introduced to Greek humour from stand
up, 'Manos the Greek. Spirited song from the zombie undead cast of 
'Famished the Musical' ('A Foggy Day in London Town' and 'Night and
Day!') There was also retro burlesque from 'Wild Card Kitty'; dance
and physical theatre from Prague, another Music Hall slapstick act
and filthy Finnish stand-up comedian 'Bo.' Some was good, some was
interesting and worth tracking down later. In the bear-pit 
atmosphere of Midnight Carousel, the audience just talked over
the acts that failed to capture their attention right away. The
Midnight Carousel is an essential 'fringe experience,' and well 
worth 5 golds on its best nights. Marysia ended on the ultimate 
note with, 'If you don't want to f**k me baby, f**k off!'
