Bond, Lost My Bond showcases Ethan Cavanagh’s flair for sharp humour and relatable storytelling. From airlines like Rex to the woes of rental life, Cavanagh weaves personal experiences into a comedic tapestry that resonates with his crowd. A highlight is the use of a graph to depict his formula for a great night: ‘two pints, six pm, no dinner’ is the comedic sweet spot. His visual aids both enhance the humour and underline a universal truth that’s both hilarious and uncomfortably accurate, as he outlines his personal mishaps with this formula. He also has a disdain for property managers (shared by many) and a pointed critique of the profession culminates in submitting a satirical résumé as the Ivan Milat for a property management position, which (obviously) gets selected for interview.

Cavanagh's ability to balance relatability with clever observation kept his audience both nodding and laughing along. He clearly has a quick wit, but a greater emphasis on his obvious strength for improvised, spontaneous humour could have sustained attention better, as the energy waned toward the end of the performance.
