Natali Caro doesn’t have a manager. And no, it's not for a lack of trying. A 27-year-old comedian, actor, DJ, drag king, impressionist, singer, dancer, writer and presenter – Caro takes it upon herself to showcase all of these skills as the ultimate live showreel in Seeking Representation.
Lean into the frenetic energy of this jam-packed barrage of skills and you will be rewarded with a peek into Caro’s cutting perspective, as well as some wonderfully silly jokes. Straight up stand-up gives way to pre-recorded video segments where Caro impersonates a celebrity Vegas mentalist and reality television housewives; which gives way to a bizarre Cher impression. All of this leads to a convincing take-down of how, just maybe, if Caro was a straight white dude and not a queer Colombian/Chilean person, they might have a manager by now.
Just as you think the show has reached its final form, a heckler jeers (and this time it’s not the two women in the second row who hit the wines a little too hard in the time the crowd spent lining up outside). Everyone’s neck hairs stand on end as Caro begins to argue with the young man, only for the rising stress to give way to a romantic flourish and a choreographed group dance number. It’s the ultimate triple axel jump of tension and release, a mad genius moment in comedy that will leave you scratching your head, fondly.
Get this damn comedian a manager.
