Review – A Special Day
All of the attempts to create intimacy within this play are highly successful – the audience will leave feeling as though they really known these characters, like they have truly spent this special day with them.

Review – Best of Fringe Variety: Alchemia
Alchemia is guaranteed to provide different performances each night, so you will have no idea what is coming at you. However, I can say this is a discerning group that only picks the A cuts, and they will guarantee you a wonderful night of cabaret goodness.
Review – LIMBO
Limbo will tease and tickle you, caress you and spank you. These guys are so hot they make porn look like Play School.
Review – Edith Piaf et Son Amour Fou
Zelenyuk has an obvious classically-trained voice, and whilst quite dissimilar from the Piaf she claimed to be, her hearty, large and varied vocal range engaged the audience as she performed well-loved renditions of “La foule”, “Milord”, “Mon Dieu”, “L’accordéoniste”, “Non, Je ne regrette rien” and “La vie en rose”.
Review – The Audreys
The title track on the new album is revealed to be inspired by Play School’s “Shake Your Sillies Out,” thanks to Taasha’s 2-year-old son. It’s a lush, sexy track (forget the Play School) that, if you’ve ever had to shake your sillies out, will speak to you like that talking hamster did that time you had an existential crisis and went on a three-week bender.
Review – Abandoman: Moonrock Boombox
Like a charlatan psychic, Rob gently coaxes audience members to reveal personal details, from which he channels not dead spirits but the most astounding improvisational wordsmithery.
Review – Rob Pue: A Pant Load
When a joke ten minutes in got an ‘ooh’ and then a hush, [Rob Pue] warned the crowd to buckle up, relishing at having made them uncomfortable. What he failed to understand was that the silence was not due to subject itself, but the fact that the joke just wasn’t very good.
Review – Amos Gill: Extrovertigo
heckler wishes to remind our readership that our reviewers are totally not biased by their feelings, bromantic or otherwise, towards any comedians.
Review – Hamlet and Juliet
Get along to at least one of Sound & Fury’s shows if you like Shakespeare, Hitchcock, vaudeville, improv, comedy, laughter, or any combination of the above. You won’t regret it.
Review – Best of the Edinburgh Fest
The Best of the Edinburgh Fest is the tamer younger brother of the Late Show, so if you have parents with a curfew or nostalgic Brits in tow, there’s plenty for all to enjoy.
Review – Love & Other Acts of Theft
Love & Other Acts of Theft is one hour of four short plays, linked solely by well-placed Gilmore Girls references. Together they provide F I N T’s talented ensemble the opportunity to show the Adelaide Fringe audiences what they’ve got – and that’s skills, Adelaide. Acting skills!
Review – The Bunker Trilogy: Agamemnon
This is a totally immersive experience. The audience shuffles in to the bunker in the almost dark, with dirt at their feet and lanterns swinging above their heads. There is barbed wire and sandbags, and we sit on wooden benches lining the canvas walls while the action plays out inches in front of us.
Review – Ada & Elsie: Wacko-the-Diddle-oh!
The wide eyed innocence of Sherlock and Yelland in their delivery of sometimes quite vulgar innuendo is both charming and hilarious.
Review – Neil Sinclair: Charmingly Useless
His self-effacing set is a wonderfully enjoyable hour that, counter-intuitively, seems to play even better in a slightly empty room.
Review – Alex Wasiel: Status Update
Through her dancing, impression-work and a flawless imitation of house music, she delivers a set of stand-up that would be the highlight at any late-night comedy venue.
