Bobbie Viney was ghosted by a man. A man with a moustache. A Gemini man with a moustache. And she’s not happy about it, but it’s made for some fabulous cabaret fodder.

Closure at a Self Serve Checkout played for one night only to a packed house at My Lover Cindi’s as part of Cabaret Fringe Festival.

Bobbie takes us through the events of her ghosting experience, step by step, accompanied by quirky, fun songs, a PowerPoint presentation and a moment of poetry.

A self-analysis of how and why she reacted the way she did to a moustached man disappearing from her life without a trace (or text back), there are lessons in this show for everyone, whether ghoster or ghosted be.

Interacting easily with her audience, Bobbie is warm, disarming and engaging.

The show is well-written and we were fortunate to be the audience who (ironically?) got the full ‘closure’ with a new ending written after her Melbourne International Comedy Festival season where important and hilarious ghost-saga-developments occurred.

Bobbie Viney is intelligent, risqué, funny and charming, and Closure at a Self Serve Checkout is damned good cabaret.
