Review – Sam Marzden’s History of Rock’n’Roll (1962-1989)

Review – Where? Why? Where? and Earth: May Contain Traces of Human
A comedy show at RiAus, the Science Exchange, sounds like a recipe for sharp, topical humour on stuff like homeopathy, climate change and evolution. But we only got a little of that with these two shows, Where? Why? Where? and Earth: May Contain Traces of Human
Review – Faulty Towers: The Dining Experience
In true Basil Fawlty form, guests are commented on, mocked and snickered at, all in the snootiest, most British way possible.
Review – Monkey Puzzle Tree
Ensorceled, entranced, utterly engaged; the audience was moved to a well-earned standing ovation.

You can’t go wrong with a ticket to the Bulmers Best of the Fest.
Review – Circolombia
There has been a lot of hype about this show so I was very excited as we piled into the Big Top at the Garden of Unearthly Delights.
Review – Tommy Little: Sex, Drugs and Herbal Tea
Little is very funny. He is also very good looking but don’t be fooled by this charmer, sometimes the things that come out of his mouth make you giggle, cringe then giggle again.
Review – Cafe Poetry Week
This is not the most exciting, up-to-the-minute Fringe, but the stories these women tell are pleasant, quirky and warm. Go for breakfast, take your nan, enjoy the coffee and experience this gem of a cafe.
Review – Collage of the Arts
There aren’t a lot of reasons to check out a high school production if you don’t, in fact, go to school. Either you’re a parent of one of the kids or you’re hoping you might catch the next Snakadaktal before they go big.
Review – Book of Loco
The Book of Loco flies along with tempo and spittle, bouncing from tale to tale as Alirio invites the audience to share in his stories.
Review – Pants Down Circus
While the name may hint at some kind of adult burlesque circus antics, nothing could be further from the truth – this is family-friendly, innocent fun.
Review – The Saints of British Rock
The premise of the show is that “the greatest rock band in the world” formed in 1959 disappeared in 1973 after a string of number one hits.
Review – MKA’s 22 Short Plays
This is what Fringe is all about, something a bit different from the norm, at times a bit ‘out there’ and a mix of comedy and drama.
Review – A Belly Dance Fairy Tale
This was a delightful piece of whimsy and a wonderful showcase of various styles of belly dancing.
