Zack Adams: Love Songs For Future Girl

Hey there, time traveller!

Cinematheque (Venue 7), to Saturday

Boy meets girl. Girl dumps boy. Boy, being a musician, mines the misery for material and write songs for the all the girls he loved before — starting in primary school.

The result is part cabaret, part “group therapy session” as Zack Adams muses about The One(s) that got away — all named Lara to protect their privacy — and why.

He does this mainly by altering the lyrics of popular songs (sorry, Mr. Dylan) to fit his various predicaments. His original compositions are just as clever. The best of the lot was The Apology Song, which he wrote for a woman he serenaded at one of his shows, who was promptly dumped by her jealous boyfriend.

Adams (ginger-haired, geek-chic alter ego of Aussie actor/comedian Shane Adamczak) is an engaging entertainer, not to mention adorably self-aware and self-deprecating.

He may not be your Mr. Right, but if you’re looking for a fun time, he’s a great Mr. Right Now.

From the official Fringe Festival program:

What happens if the girl you think is “The One” turns out not to be? A comedy cabaret about love, loss, heartbreak and growing bad ginger beards.

Dumped, depressed and slightly drunk, Australian actor/comedian Zack Adams figures that if you can’t laugh at yourself, you may as well let an audience do it.
