Review – My Piano And Me
Sarah is a small player at this year’s Fringe — a relative unknown, and fairly new to comedy — but her knack for these sort of quirky observations reveal her to have a mighty potential.

Review – DeAnne Smith: LET’S DO THIS!
DeAnne Smith is down in Australia, she’s full of energy, and she’s going to do this! She’s going to nail it!
Review – Picture This!
As each comedian does their set, Hadley Donaldson doodles their stories on a projector screen. The results are often hilarious, as comic and illustrator jostle for laughs.
Review – 420
420 is made to be a guilty indulgence. It is relentlessly awful character improv, featuring off-the-wall bits like a gimp performing ventriloquism through their ball-gag, or a baby singing about toilet-training to the tune of “Bohemian Rhapsody”. It is terrible and it is hilarious.
Review – Foreign Objects
All told, Foreign Objects is a decent round-up of three confident and talented (if not ground-breaking) comedians.
Review – Occupy White People
Occupy White People is an illuminating exploration of issues of race in Australia, told through a very funny and talented comedian.
Review – Le Foulard
Le Foulard plays the long joke, the humour cooking over in a slow boil that plays tension against relief as Lucy builds towards the laughs.
Review – The Girl Who Won’t Grow Up
Girl Who Won’t Grow Up is surprisingly quirky and refreshingly unique; a top-notch show from an emerging local talent.
Review – Abigoliah Schamaun: Girl Going to Hell
This is punk rock comedy: shocking, minimalist, energetic, honest, and a mess of fucking fun.
Review – Greg Fleet in The Boy That Cried Sober
It is a brave individual that chooses to base a stand up comedy show upon the tragedy of heroin addiction.
Review – Abdicating Adulthood
Nikki Britton feels as if her life is on rails. All her friends are settling in for the long haul, getting married and having children, and they’re expecting her to follow suit.
Sam Simmons – About the Weather
This show has a bursting live energy and Simmons makes a genuine and successful effort to connect with his audience. It’s very weird but it’s a lot more than ‘just weird’.
Zoe Coombs Marr – Gone Off
Gone Off is that travel story. You know the one where you set off to discover yourself only to end up getting blind drunk with the locals and talking to yourself to avoid the awkward silence of solitude.
The Underlads – Living on Limbo Lane
Living on Limbo Lane is a unique performance with singing, dancing, puppetry and a fight to the death.
