Review – The Art of Letting Go
This refreshingly funny show was presented in a very simple style, a woman, a piano and a lot of attitude. Not the sort of attitude that gets an airing very often.

Review – 4 Decades of Dance with Driller
If you want a solid night of booty-shaking, at the bargain basement price of $13 a ticket, you can’t go past 4 Decaces of Dance.
Review – A Burlesque Interlude
The opening performance of A Burlesque Interlude left much to be desired. There were obvious shortcoming from several areas, both performance and technical sides, and much room for improvement for the rest of their 5 night run.
Review – Sammy J: Potentially!
Comedy shows have framing devices. It’s a fact of life: you need something to bookend your show, a big revelatory note on which you can end the night, to show you’re a human being and not just a joke machine.

Review – Kim Churchill
He’ll make you want to take your clothes off. Kim Churchill is a beautiful man inside and out, and backs it up with some mighty good talent.
Review – Breaker
Anyone who heard the recent performance of Peer Gynt perfomed by the BBCSO featuring Irish actors playing the dramatic parts will have noticed (or ‘can imagine’ for you blushing culture-absconders) how perfectly appropriate the brogue fitted with the folksy mythical themes and characters.
Review – Groucho by Neil Cole
It’s a big ask for any actor to play the king of the perfect one liner and immaculate comedy timing but, after a slow start, Dennis Manahan pulls it off.
Review – Tears, Beers & Beautiful Girls: A Musical Survival Guide
At first glance it might seem that this pair would have no need for a survival guide to love, however there is a sincerity in their emotions throughout the performance which is really refreshing.
Review – Safe Haven
Nicholas Sparks’ hit, ‘The Notebook’ has ensured the rest of this novelists’ output earn movie adaptations. Especially since Sparks himself produces them. Following this series risks witnessing the gradual watering down of a well loved romantic hit, but Sparks’ background was in business prior to becoming published. Cha-Ching!
Review – Movie 43
Be warned, don’t bring your grandparents to this movie (unless they’re totally wasted).
Review – Silver Linings Playbook
Everyone likes to hate on rom-coms. And with good reason too. Most films in this genre are suited for people with IQs lower than their age and aimed at ‘holiday’ markets where most movies get decent box office numbers simply because people are going to go see something (read: anything) at the movies. And then, every now and then, out of the blue, almost as if it was made by accident, you get a gem of a movie like Silver Linings Playbook.
