The Adelaide Advertiser

2^nd June, 2010

Dear Editor,

Thanks for featuring a picture of my show SKITCH TEASE (which involved me posing “nude” with my accordion) on your front page on 2^nd June.  It was great publicity for the Cabaret Fringe but also I was interested to see that the picture provoked some strong responses from readers.

Bob Beaner of Riverton commented, “If the comedic songs, stories and comments on her single life are interesting enough then surely Miss Skitch could perform without the nudity.” Bill of Gawler also agreed and wrote, “One can only hope that this rubbish is not supported in any way by the SA Govt and the tax payers”

I would like to assure these readers that the material in my show has been developed and performed over the last ten years FULLY CLOTHED and brings the house down every time!  I also feel the need to reiterate that the accordion is strategically placed and so it creates the ILLUSION that I am naked.  The imagination is a powerful thing isn’t it?  (Bob and Bill’s comments are testament to this!).

I believe it is the role of artists in society not only to entertain but also to provoke thought and debate.  And it seems that my new show SKITCH TEASE has achieved both these things!

Kind regards,

Liz Skitch
