I reserve the highest props for comedy which looks to be personal, daring, sophisticated and original all at once. Of the few shows at this Fringe that tick all those boxes, Red Bastard has to be one of the most obnoxious and crass entries in the category.
[EastEnd Cabaret offer] saucy, classy, daring and accessible entertainment that leaves you with plenty to tell your workmates about in the lunchroom the next day.
Love-Song-Circus is powerful, uplifting and gut-wrenchingly beautiful. Noonan gives voice to the long-unspoken stories of the female pioneers of Australian stoicism.
Add to this a Freddie Krueger rap from a Nightmare on Elm Street, featuring dubious sexual references “not in the backdoor” and you have a vastly inappropriate and often hilarious show. The show is not perfect, but the delivery is and Christine and Phelan excel.
FOMO: The Fear of Missing Out is a hilarious, theatrical sketch-comedy not to be missed.
[Kraken] is hilarious, charming and unique in about equal measure. A thing to be seen.
An up-and-comer to look out for, Hodge is sure to delight, and will hopefully return next year with even more stories.
The humour was spot on. A bit outlandish and crude at times but set up well, earning groans and surprised laughter.
This show is just pure simple fun. Each component is delivered with a shot of comedy that keeps you giggling between gasps.

If you’re keen for the kind of band you start singing along with, and then realise you don’t speak Chinese – this is your group. And if you just want to see an overweight Asian dude in sunglasses dancing like a horse, well – these guys should still definitely be in your top three.
Eight piece band with Punjabi rhythms infused with infectious brassy anthems – but don’t worry it just works.
