Scotty wrote this about SHELTER- AN ERIC BOGLE TRIBUTE - Shelter was an amazing tribute to one of Australia's greatest musicians.Emily covered some of his beautiful and haunting songs, and her rendition of No Mans Land brought a tear to many an eye. The Timber picked up the mood with fun interpretations of Eric's songs the got the audience tapping along. A brilliant show....


Mia wrote this about SAMMY J AND RANDY: RICKETTS LANE - Once again, Sammy J and Heath McIvor team up to create a musical with a difference; one of the main character's in a puppet. With their usual clever banter, comic and catchy musical numbers (including some great duets) and enough smut to cause parents of any children in the audience to face some interesting questions on the way home, these two guys deliver another hilarious journey into the realms of quirky fantasy in which they live. Fantastic for both already established fans and new-comers....


Matthew wrote this about DAVE BLOUSTIEN'S COMPLETE HISTORY OF WESTERN PHILOSOPHY - In a stand-up show worked around the history of Western philosophy, from Thales onward, Mr Bloustien is both amusing and surprisingly passionate about the importance of philosophy in society. This does, however, lead to a show that, at times, becomes more informative than funny. That said, when it's funny it is pretty funny so it's worth learning (or revisiting) some philosophy along the way.
Info-taining....


Phillipa_T wrote this about DES BISHOP - Sharp as. He was fanstastic, I laughed out loud many times. His social observations of everything are truly unique and unrepeatable just like the man himself....


middy97 wrote this about ANDREW O'NEILL (UK) OCCULT COMEDIAN - Andrew was amazing. Extremely funny and so enjoyable to watch and listen to. It was disappointing that there was not too many people there - he is so amazing and deserves a sell out crowd. I would definitely see him again. I was rolling around in my seat laughing!!!...





Most spoken about Acts

A SMOKE, A PILL AND THE SIX O' CLOCK SWILL    

Following a sellout season last Fringe, the Angry Penguins explore drugs through song and story. Rediscover the health benefits of a coffee, a cigarette, a reefer, a martini and a good lie down. Take a trip through the psychedelic 60s to country classics and haunting songs of loss and redemption.


A TIVOLI LOVELIE    

Tap dancing, acrobatics, adagio, slapstick comedy, showgirls, singing duets, 24-girls-long choruslines, Ziegfeld Follies-esque spectaculars... and all performed by one woman in one-hour. Based on the memories of women who danced as Tivoli Lovelies, this solo performance reimagines one of the most fondly remembered theatres in Australian History....


ALI MCGREGOR'S LATE-NITE VARIETY-NITE NIGHT    

Let Ali McGregor (La Clique/Opera Burlesque), take you into a world of vaudeville skits and fancy tricks. It's late, the bar is open and the scene is set for the festival's finest comedians, burlesque and sideshow acts to collide. "'...partial nudity, offensive tricks and gorgeous song" The Age.


AMAZED - NICHOLAS TWEEDY IS THE REALITY BENDER    

World renowned Mentalist/Fringe Sensation NICHOLAS TWEEDY IS BACK!!! Performing new ILLUSIONS sure to be nothing short of spectacular! Last year reviews: The Advertiser, "As far as stage magicians go, this is the real deal." Independent Weekly, "With no fuss and little fanfare, Tweedy makes the impossible seem real". www.nicholastweedy.com


'AN AWKWARD SEDUCTION'    

The secret refuge for wayward beauties. A widow takes you by the heart. The serious dramaturge goes tits up. A nerd girl bares her soul to an unseen lover. These lasses serve up their unusual blend of cabaret and comedy seduction with fumbling coquettish charm, ballsy joi-de-vivre and wit.
