Miss Googiepants first appeared at the Edinburgh Junior Press Gang Tour 2008 where she
performed a twenty minute version of her show, 'Jay Gees Jamboree' to ten schools.
Miss Googie Pants is a lady who tells funny stories for children to enjoy. I enjoyed it so did the teachers. I found the plot interesting because she acted out all the characters which is hard to do for one person. She was good at dancing. She put action into it. And her costume was nice. My favorite part of the show was when she went to steal presents from the birthday person. But they got her as she sneaked gently out of the door but the door gave a big bang. Before the show is presented to another school it would be useful to make it longer and have more characters so she doesn't have to do it by herself. I would recommend this show because it is funny and entertaining and good costumes are used. Overall I would rate this show as five stars.

She then went on to perform at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival to packed houses as well as performing in the
fringe tent and birthday parties.
This is an imaginative show in which the vivacious Michelle Van Rensburg takes on the persona of Miss Googiepants and tells a series of fantasy tales adapted from her husband Jay Van Rensburg's poems and stories. There are some sneaky birthday present stealers, Snurglegurks (who eat dads), a boy who picks his nose and an evil child catcher called the Jubgubbler. Michelle is a lovely performer, dressed as a 1950s prom girl and surrounded by a variety of props and toys. She effortlessly morphs into different characters with impressive dexterity and bags of enthusiasm.
