Review – Carousel & Clothesline

Imagine a bearded and tattooed muscle man supporting his pint-sized partner by her pelvis in a complex hold, which then segues seamlessly and sensuously between flips, holds and drops to the gasping appreciation of the crowd. Hot, right? Just wait until you see it.

Review – Rom Com Con

Finding themselves despairingly single, British comedians Lizzy Mace and Juliette Burton sought to investigate this very premise by undertaking the ultimate social experiment, and road testing some of the most common rom-com tropes in real life.

Review – Day of the Dead

Cath and her sister decided to visit the Day of the Dead; a traditional Mexican holiday surrounding death and those who have passed away. This experience opened her eyes to the rather morose and taboo relationship Australians have with death.

Review – Anthropy

The whole show came together really well and was extremely entertaining. It left you wondering how the tricks were actually possible, which is exactly how you want to leave a magic show; in awed disbelief.

Review – Mat Ricardo

[Mat Ricardo] is a cynic’s juggler equipped with the comedic sensibilities of Rowan Atkinson, and he happily distances himself from the clichés of juggled swords (too dangerous) and juggled chainsaws (not dangerous enough).

Review – Wau Wau Sisters: Death Threats (and other forms of flattery)

With a mix of homoerotic acrobatics, storytelling, songs and bullet dodging, the Wau Wau sisters display their irreverent wit as well as their gold-spangled athletic bodies. The most impressive act in this self-proclaimed ‘Cirque de T&A’ is on the double trapeze. The sisters dazzle their gasping audience with impressive spins and catches, entirely in lascivious character.

Review – The Vaudevillians

Reimagining everything from Madonna to Daft Punk, the show peaks in a blistering rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” (complete with a nod to Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). This is cabaret at its best – witty, hilarious and oozing with talent.

Review – Hitchcocked by Sound & Fury

This was a murder mystery Hitchcock adventure with a real storyline. You actually wanted to know what happens next. Who’s the killer? Why? Will they get away with it? So many questions! Sound & Fury answered them, and more, in a charmingly intelligent performance.
