A show about life. Performed by a ghost. For the love of god. Laura Davis pushes into new ground in her internationally acclaimed, multi award-winning show Ghost Machine. Lauded as one of the strongest and most unique comedic voices around, Laura Davis is unconventional, cathartic and exhilaratingly hilarious. Ghost Machine sees audience members returning multiple times to celebrate this darkly honest, constantly surprising, existential extravaganza. Winner: Best Indie Show at Melbourne International Comedy Festival and Best Comedy at Melbourne Fringe. 'An original and provocative hour in the company of a unique mind' **** (List).

Laura Davis's show is a rare combination of genuinely brilliant stand-up and a good use of theatrical devices. Existential crises abound with mental health as a key theme as she creates a 'night-time' feel to the show, reminding us of times when, alone in bed, our thoughts take over. A beautiful hour of comedy.
