The previous PAUL + 1 shows have been fixated on the implications and reactions to the pandemic (see BACKSTORY below). In 2023, finally freed from the claustrophobia of COVID and its all\-invasive presence PAUL + 1 felt able to explore new and powerful territory.\x26amp;nbsp;\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\x26#34;\x26gt;Blood Orange tackles three large conceptual themes facing contemporary society: The fall of Empire, the rise of women, and wanking (not necessarily in that order).\x26amp;nbsp;\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\x26#34;\x26gt;From these broad, but deceptively simple, topics PAUL + 1 has created a sonic hellscape of contemporaneous hilarity.

This is a show that dances madly where other shows fear to tread. It is a carnival ride of the absurd, a feral outpouring of indignant rage at a broken system, and a sweet\-voiced assault on hypocrisy, seamlessly executed by a swaggering idiot and his guitar\-playing cocaine bear.★\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;br\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26amp;ldquo;Naughty fun of the highest calibre\x26amp;rdquo; The Clothesline ★★★★★\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26amp;ldquo;Laughter is good for the soul and my soul feels really good now\x26amp;rdquo; Glam Adelaide ★★★★★\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26amp;ldquo;McDermott\x26amp;rsquo;s sharp songwriting shines in this riotous performance\x26amp;rdquo; Adelaide Advertiser ★★★★\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26amp;ldquo;He\x26amp;rsquo;s lost none of his aggressive charm\x26amp;rdquo; Time Out ★★★★ \x26amp;nbsp;\x26lt;br\x26gt;\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;br\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p style=\x26#34;text\-align: center;\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26lt;br\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26lt;br\x26gt;\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;hr\x26gt;\x26lt;p style=\x26#34;text\-align: center;\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26lt;br\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p style=\x26#34;text\-align: center;\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\x26#34;\x26gt;\x26lt;strong\x26gt;\x26lt;span style=\x26#34;font\-size: 18px;\x26#34;\x26gt;TICKETING INFO\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/strong\x26gt;\x26amp;nbsp;\x26lt;\/span\x26gt;\x26lt;\/p\x26gt;\x26lt;p style=\x26#34;text\-align: center;\x26#34;\x26gt;Please have a digital or printed copy of your ticket ready on arrival along with a valid photo ID.
