Making an enthusiastic entrance, Michael Connell greeted an audience that was small – but also warm and responsive, thanks in no small part to Connell’s relaxed and pleasant demeanour.

Given the title, you may think that this is focussed entirely on the Man In Tights. But Connell does no more than gently swoop down on the theme, effortlessly weaving it into the narrative, letting it play an organic part.

What real life experience last made you laugh?

Well on opening night at Michael Connell's show, I Am Super, Man, he has a huge array of experiences to share.

Everything and anything are discussed is this somewhat erratic interview, but if you listen (very) carefully, you can pick up details of Michael's latest show, which is in no way meant to be an affront to DC Comics.

Finally, the show I’ve been waiting for. Voices: The Carrical Project, brought to us by Candlelight Productions, has everything you could ask for – a clever script, a well-made set, thought-out costumes, expert direction and most wonderfully, it was Australian.

Voices follows the lives of five residents of Carrical, a kind of halfway house helping homeless and mentally challenged peoples. The play treads a line of reverence, respect, comedy and pathos taking the audience on an exploration of these men, their stories and how they are dealing with their lives. Moreover, Voices charts the friendship that these men develop when everyone else has abandoned them; friends, family, work colleges etc.
