Anesti Danelis: Artificially Intelligent comedy review: ChatGPT made funny

It’s Anesti Danelis’ fourth solo show and he’s somewhat emotionally exhausted, so he’s looked to AI to help write this one.  As ChatGPT has a think, or rather a scroll through the internet for info on Danelis, he takes us on a musical tour of his world.

Though it’s not his first rodeo, the show nevertheless works as an introduction to the Canadian comedian. His Greek heritage looms large with plenty of teasing jokes about feta cheese and an enjoyably surreal song about his strict mum’s love of the slipper as a disciplinary tool. Elsewhere his bisexuality gets dissected too.

This is a light-hearted hour, gently funny and displaying his musical skills well, whether it be on guitar or a bit of rap. He also gets the audience involved with some warm and fuzzy interaction; his creation of a congenial atmosphere ensures that no one is going to feel picked on. 

Anesti Danelis: Artificially Intelligent, Underbelly Bristo Square, until 25 August, 2.15pm.
