Review – Maybe you could crack my sternum
This is offbeat, original theatre, and an honest and heartfelt glimpse into the lives of two young women.

Review – Sex With Animals
Sex with Animals is such an intelligently-paced show that the fascinating insights into animal and human mating, the unexpected reflections on metaphysics and the plain hilarious are so expertly distilled within the show that the serious moments never really feel that out of place, and the funny moments never feel forced.
10 Quick Qs – HolePunch
We sat down with the ladies from HolePunch and asked them the tough questions!
Review – Blues and Burlesque
The trio not only excel in their specific fields, but exhibit finely-tuned skills in complementary areas, making for one of the finest hours of entertainment you will see at the Fringe.
Review – Tap Into Health
Does a regular tap regime make you happier and healthier? If Melvin’s athletic body and disarmingly infectious laugh are anything to go by, the answer must be yes. I was certainly smiling and sweating up a storm in the class.
Review – Pajama Party
Come to The Bally tent at Gluttony for a pyjama party! There’ll be pass-the-parcel, ventriloquism, charades, pillow fights, magic tricks and – oh God, what are you doing to that orange? Why would you… how could you? Oh Christ. Oh, the humanity!
Review – Ajak Kwai: Of Cows, Women and War
Amidst the traditional and contemporary blend of Sudanese folk songs and Aussie-Sudanese stylings, she engages her audience with stories of her past and present; from the unimaginable horrors of learning of the deaths of her family and friends in conflict-ridden South Sudan to the struggles and adventures of her everyday life in Australia.
Review – DNA
The girls made great use of the stage for both acting and dancing, often coming up into the crowd to perform scenes while the soundtrack was perfectly matched to the theme of the play. The overall acting was powerful and accurate, especially for amateurs, and the idea that each girl’s individual personality was integral to the group as a whole was very strongly portrayed.
Review – Glory Box
Glory Box challenges everything the audience thinks they know about burlesque, the art of seduction, and their own limits. In one swoop of a hula hoop, the audience is asking for more, more, more, and the performers give everything they have.
Review – Lords of Strut
Lords of Strut make you laugh, make you cry (with laughter), and make you laugh some more as their tumultuous sibling relationship collides with their acrobatic dance routines to create a show with heart and muscle.
Review – Radio Variety Hour
This show manages to whisk you away to a simpler time, while being humorously self-aware.
Review – Late Night Comedy at The Producers Bar
Five comedians performed within the hour long show, with the stand outs being the slightly built, dapper Conan O’Brien look-a-like Rhys Nicholson and the dishevelled, gangly Englishman Neil Sinclair.
Review – Summer of Blood
I wasn’t sure if they were aiming for satire or simple comedy, but they provided no insights into the tropes they used, which is essential for satire, and the funny parts mostly stopped before we got to the halfway point.
Review – Dodgem Car Saviour
All set in his quiet home town of Batemans Bay, Daniel recalls the misadventures that led him to dream up and then abandon careers in being a boxing-ring bikini girl, the guy that gets you un-stuck on the dodgem cars, and to finally settle on stand-up comedy.
