Review – Two in the Think Tank
This is one of the few podcasts that will actually have me laughing out loud, in the middle of the street, while people give me weird looks, and for that alone it’s a solid recommendation.

Review – Rear Admiral, Opening Night
While comedy is still somewhat of a cottage industry in Adelaide, there is certainly some talent around our little town and we’re glad to see Rear Admiral giving locals a spot.

Review – Lindsay Webb
Adelaide Comedy puts shows on every week of the year, and new material night gives comics a chance to hone their craft. You might get as many flat-liners as funnies, but if you’re willing to take a punt you’ll also get some real gems from a solid roster of comedians.

Review – The Fairytale Cookbook
As parents we have all sat through excruciating performances of unfunny child humour. The Fairytale Cookbook is not like that. I liked this one.
Review – Dave O’Neil: 33 Things I Should Have Said No To
Don’t arrive late to this one unless you have some good heckling lines. This would be my advice as Courtney and the Dutch backpacker would attest to from the performance I attended, who became part of the show in a way that for some could be uncomfortable.

I certainly wouldn’t call it sophisticated humour, but if you’re after side-splitting laughter you just might get it (after a pint or two) and you may or may not leave feeling guilty about it afterward.
Review – Evin Donohoe: Game Changer!: Barack Obama and My Part in His Victory
The pace of the show never drops; Evin demonstrates his skill as a performer utilizing a heady array of different story telling mechanisms. He packs an enormous amount of content into a single hour.
