Martini Time

ImproMafia bring their show Martini Time to the Brisbane Powerhouse in March as part of the Brisbane Comedy Festival. Have I mentioned before how much I love photographing actors? I have? Well let me say it again – I love photographing actors! Mike, Leanne and Jim were particularly excellent for our early morning alleyway shoot. For show details, head to the Martini Time Brisbane Comedy Festival page. Short version: Free comedy, Friday and Saturday nights for the first three weeks in March. Free? How good is that?

I love that these portraits were shot in an alley. T1512_151005_A4997 T1512_151005_A4975E T1512_151005_A5048 I have a love of sneaking easter eggs in to work when I can, and Martini Time served up a golden opportunity. For the original production of It’s Martini Time, photographer Al Caeiro and designer Sean Dowling put a great promo poster together featuring five of the show’s characters. A few of these posters are still around, and one of them may have happened in to the shoot 😀
