Adelaide video blogger, Mema Sifa, came to see Kath on a Hot Tin Roof on opening night, and has just emailed a ‘handmade’ souvenir of the evening!
Mema created this fun and kooky review for a competition, so by watching this video which has a few snippets of Kathryn’s show in Adelaide, you’ll also be helping Mema progress in Samsung’s U10 Shoot to Share competition. Please support this fellow artist on her creative quest!
For a transcript of the video, please visit Mema’s blog. Thanks, Mema!

Note from Jen:
With only three shows left in Adelaide, it was a big surprise just now to spot another review of Kath on a Hot Tin Roof!
Here’s hoping that the enthusiasm of the two Rip It Up reviewers will translate to some crowded dancing in the aisles by Sunday’s final show! What a ride it’s been so far…
Kath On A Hot Tin Roof Austral Hotel – The Bunka, Wed Mar 3
Reviewed by Ian Newton and Kate Battersby
Sometimes you see an act that has it all: anxiety, cancer, tits, kids and facial hair, whales, cracked nipples, ice cream and bridges; barbies, broken bones, the Labor Party, Cubs and bums. “Impossible!” I hear you say. Hell, no! A life lived with passion and told with love (and a little bit of piss-taking), a constant tickling of the humour bone and a bucket of pathos, this story will lift you up above the fence line.
Sassy and fabulous Kathryn-with-a-K takes you on a suburban journey of true life. Don’t take it on trust, see for yourself: truly authentic storytelling that makes reality TV’s ‘journey’ look like a crawl.
Final word: Breakneck.
Kath On A Hot Tin Roof continues at The Bunka at The Austral Hotel until Sunday 14 March. Tickets can be booked online on the Adelaide Fringe website.

This week local writer and video blogger Mema Sifa shared some thoughtful comments about Kath on a Hot Tin Roof on the TalkFringe review site:
“Like Kath I suffer from both a mental illness and unemployment, and really appreciated that rather than shy away from these lemons she made lemonade of them in the form of a show that is both comical and inspiring.
Kath heats up the tin roof with stories of her life dealing in local politics, Sydney’s underbelly, being a mum, and growing good weed.
As an aside she gives out “Anxiety Disorder” pamphlets, and such a pamphlet once saved my life. Keep on keepin’ on Kath.”
**** Mema Sifa, TalkFringe review
What a beautiful surprise and a lovely way to mark the halfway point of the show’s run in Adelaide … Thanks so much for such a personal note.
