Review – Ali McGregor’s Late-Nite Variety-Nite Night
A nicely rounded show that has you on the edge of your seat with excitement and leaves you feeling thoroughly entertained and satisfied.
Review – Loretta Main: Bipolar
This tangential performance is as abrupt as it is miserable and is reminiscent of running your hand along a brick wall; rough at some points, hard at others, but feels good in a strange self deprecating way.
Review – School Dance
To be enjoyed by teens and adults alike, discover what happens when feeling invisible becomes a reality.
Review – Adam Knox: Catclysmos
‘Cataclysmos’ is only Knox’s second show but if things continue in an upward trajectory his next season may require him to set up quite a few more seats for the audience than he had planned to
Review – The Importance of Being Earnest as Performed by 3 F**king Queens & a Duck
Out Cast Theatre isn’t challenging any stereotypes here – there’s plenty of mincing around the stage, cross-dressing, and an entirely superfluous speech impediment
Review – Benn Bennett: Perfectly Mowed Lawn
The theme of the evening is subtle and slow to emerge; what does a house say about a person? What does the state of your lawn reveal? But if you’re patient it will all fall into place by the end.
Review – Trav Nash: The Ageing Young Rebel
Trav is an extremely animated and emotional comic. He expresses himself loudly and frantically. His face gets red and he spits a lot. It really is fascinating to watch.
Review – Justine Sless: Tomatoes & Other Stakeholders
“It just seemed like a good name” says Justine Sless of her latest offering; “They ask you, back in August what it will be called, and you think up a good name, but you don’t really know what the show will be about.” And so it unfolds.
Review – The Law Revue
This year’s Law Revue is a comedy sketch show not to be missed. Key strengths and hefty laughs come from its satirical skits, role plays and even mini musical moments on current events.
Review – The Man Who Planted Trees (UK)
Your inner child re-emerges, softening your imagination as you begin to giggle at the simpler comedic moments.
Review – Barry Morgan: Organ is Not A Dirty Word
Barry Morgan is just a hard-working musical instrument salesman. Sure, his smile borders on the maniacal, and his hair is unnervingly well-held, but Morgan just wants to share the joys of his organ. His Hammond Aurora organ, that is, although there are innuendoes aplenty throughout the performance.
Review – Jack Druce: Unqualified Life Coach
Apparently shaking with nerves he out-performed his insecurities with brilliantly told anecdotes – think high school; overseas adventures and a jazz walrus.
Review – Jordana Borensztajn: Social Needia – The Epidemic
Social Needia is definitely not a show for people who don’t use social media. Don’t bother. For those who Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest etc… This show is aimed squarely at you.
Review – These Kids are Good
Six up and coming local comedians, two of which are national RAW Comedy winners, for $5 is a pretty good deal. It’s a great way to discover acts you’d like to see, which is kind of the point of the show, so it’s understandable that the sets need to be quick, to the point, and as funny as possible.
