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.
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!
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.
This show manages to whisk you away to a simpler time, while being humorously self-aware.
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.
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.
If you’re one of those people who doesn’t quite know what you want to do with your life, or maybe worry that you’re treading water a bit, Ryan feels like a kindred spirit. That being said, he did hope for bigger and better things in his life when he applied for Mensa. Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for comedy goers, he didn’t get in.
He’s droll and self-deprecating as only a hipster who makes fun of hipsters can be, and will gladly make his own onstage shortcomings the focus of his humour.
The brilliant part is that it is a different show each time, deliciously unpredictable, and its marvellous watching each skit unfold or crumble as actors navigate the rules and scenarios presented to them.
The sheer incredulity of his feats mount, until, despite the fits of laughter, believers and sceptics alike are left scratching their heads and wondering what in the physical or spiritual world just happened
The best laughs came from a squeaky kitchen door that interrupted proceedings, which on each occasion yielded nervous relief. When the furniture provides more laughs than the performers you know it’s a bad show.
A good show to keep you kicking on into the wee hours of the weekend. Be entertained by a well-curated set of the Fringe’s finest and lesser-known comedy acts.
Sure, this is essentially a series of stories about a couple that liked to get high a lot; however, Lisa-Skye seems to be using these stories to hint at the duality of a person’s character and the contradictions that may exist there.
These goobers are pretty cute. Even pretty funny. Sure, some of their punch lines fall a little flatter than they’d hoped, but all in all it’s a good fun show that’ll keep you chuckling in your chair – or maybe even co-starring on stage.
