Review – Soap
Soap is an eclectic array of circus tricks, gymnastics and a lot of fun. What the performers can do is downright astounding and will challenge everything you believe about what the human body is capable of.

Review – Squidboy
Imagine a small child at play in his room pretending to be a squid, jumping from one whimsical adventure to the next. Now swap that small child with a towering, bearded actor, and you have Squidboy.
Review – Simon Pampena in The Maths Olympics
Using a variety of performance mediums in his highly energetic show, Simon tries to show his love for all things mathematical, and keeps the entertainment going using iconic musical hits such as Baby Got Maths.
Review – Lovebirds
The singing is just amazing. The humour is fantastic – each of the four actors brings something different to the table – they are all incredibly talented and work perfectly together. You’ll probably fall in love with these curious creatures, the Lovebirds, as they take you on their journey of love and well, sex.
Review – Porcelain Punch Travelling Medicine Show
The Porcelain Punch Travelling Medicine Show is a nice concept: a send-up of an old-time travelling caravan that cons people into buying a bottle of Porcelain Punch, a shonky cure-all elixir. A number of circus and cabaret acts are performed to demonstrate the “miraculous” powers of the medicine, which can allegedly make people beautiful, healthy, or gain superhuman strength.
Review – Fleeto – Paddy Cunneen
Shakespeare and Greek tragedy rolled into one and spat back out in the reality of Glasgow gang life and lingo.
Review – Live on Air with Poet Laureate Telia Nevile
FIND poets boring, do you?
Well, what if they passionately recited homoerotic West Wing fan fiction? Or blasted industrial metal at you while roaring about grammar?
Review – Mercedes Benz Awkwardly
THE Fringe is all about taking a punt. About going to see shows or artists you’ve never heard of. And I’m extremely glad I did.
Hannah Williams’ alter ego, Mercedes Benz, is just like any other ‘girl next door’ – affable, quirky, pretty and cute. Except, she’s a stripper.
Review – Chants Des Catacombes
It’s late at night, you’re at the Old Adelaide Goal.
The beautiful, yet eerie, sounds of a violin float out into the night sky, while you look around at the other shadowy figures in the the courtyard.
Review – Rough Trade – The Violent Romantics
ROUGH Trade is not for the faint hearted.
Think Fight Club meets 1984 meets Big Brother.
Review – Imperial Fizz
Combine Noel Coward and Tom Stoppard over ice. Add a twist of Satre. Serve liberally.
Review – Slapdash Galaxy – Mr. Bunk
While he looks like he makes it all up as he goes along, the special effects in the show clearly show the amount of hard work that goes into a production like this.
His extremely charming storytelling style brings out your inner kid who hangs on to every word and is dazzled by every trick.
Review – Barry Morgan’s World of Organs
Oh the humble organ – who would have thought that a man stuck in a time warp with a 100% polyester Safari suit could have made it kind of cool? But somehow, Barry Morgan’s World of Organs makes me feel like bringing the old dusty organ out and trying Barry’s signature one-finger method for myself.
Review – LevelLess – TheaterGroep WAK
Apparently, due to the mysterious particle accelerator experiments going on underground at the Large Hadron Collider project near Geneva, we can throw what we know about perspective out the window.
Left is no longer left, right is not right, and theatre is no longer a coherent narrative with motivations driving action.
