Karin Danger played no character; instead she bared all for her audience, offering her fantastic humour, her confidence, and the insecurities she is actively throwing away. Her spectacular voice brought life to each song, and the crowd loved her, laughed throughout as she ripped into the beauty industry. She told us her own story of trying to fit into ‘the box’, highlighting society’s contradictions and ridiculous rules over what constitutes being ‘hot’. I thoroughly enjoyed Karin’s pre-recorded backing music, all her catchy songs and brilliant costume changes. It is well worth putting up with hot venue for this hour of late night entertainment with this lovable, honest and hilarious woman.

Just The Tonic at The Caves, until 25 Aug, 10.40pm.
