Review – Adam Rozenbarchs: Eurodad
Adam played one of the smaller rooms in the Town Hall, what is usually referred to as an intimate setting, and the room was packed. It was clear from the constant laughter that everyone really enjoyed the show.
Review – Dave Callan: Psychology of Laughter
Dave the hairy, irish, dancing, 6 and a half foot Viking is a favourite of the festival and has been for 20 odd years. Is it because he’s funny to look at? Partly, but he also says some funny things… and dances, did I mention he dances?
Review – Michael Hing: Occupy White People
As a comedian Michael Hing will learn, with time and experience, not to apologise. For himself… for his comedy… eventually even for being late probably, it’s all part of the job.
Review – Jon Bennett: Fire in the Meth Lab
Jon Bennett sets the gold standard in storytelling. This show is powerful, brutally honest, and drenched in the rich humour of pathos. This is unlike any other show you’ll find at the festival. Get your hit of raw and real comedy.

A nicely rounded show that has you on the edge of your seat with excitement and leaves you feeling thoroughly entertained and satisfied.
Review – Loretta Main: Bipolar
This tangential performance is as abrupt as it is miserable and is reminiscent of running your hand along a brick wall; rough at some points, hard at others, but feels good in a strange self deprecating way.
Review – School Dance
To be enjoyed by teens and adults alike, discover what happens when feeling invisible becomes a reality.
Review – Adam Knox: Catclysmos
‘Cataclysmos’ is only Knox’s second show but if things continue in an upward trajectory his next season may require him to set up quite a few more seats for the audience than he had planned to
Review – The Importance of Being Earnest as Performed by 3 F**king Queens & a Duck
Out Cast Theatre isn’t challenging any stereotypes here – there’s plenty of mincing around the stage, cross-dressing, and an entirely superfluous speech impediment

The theme of the evening is subtle and slow to emerge; what does a house say about a person? What does the state of your lawn reveal? But if you’re patient it will all fall into place by the end.
