Review – Icarus Falling
The manic oscillation between boisterous characters and uncouth narrator reflects the very unpredictable nature that is depression. It works, and it works well.

Review – Run Girl Run
What makes [Run Girl Run] entertaining is that it’s just hilariously funny, at every level. The script is conversational and witty, the performances are wonderfully comedic, and the premise is delightfully absurd.
Review – A Viking Tale
[Jenny Wynter] portrays most of the other characters in the performance, including a passive-aggressive neighbour who is at pains to point out that her Viking birthday cakes for her Viking son are always hand-made and orgaaanic.
Review – EDGE!
Isabel commits to her role with such vigour that you believe her as a child star, even though she’s clearly at least a foot too tall. And that’s what makes this satire work so ridiculously well.
Review – Come Heckle Christ
Jesus, why do the people with the fish stickers on their cars drive so slowly?
Review – Kraken
[Kraken] is hilarious, charming and unique in about equal measure. A thing to be seen.
Review – They Saw a Thylacine
This is an engaging, minimalist little play which unites a conservationist and feminist agenda into sad, multi-layered tale.
Review – Dr. Professor Neal Portenza performs his own autopsy live on stage. One night only. (Obviously).
The show was absolutely delightful. It takes a strong performer to pull off the perfect balance of constant witty banter, tomfoolery and delightfully tight knickers – such a shallow, fickle nature has I; such tight, tight undies has he – but the good doctor manages it effortlessly.
Review – Bunny and Mad Dog Get High
Sure, this is essentially a series of stories about a couple that liked to get high a lot; however, Lisa-Skye seems to be using these stories to hint at the duality of a person’s character and the contradictions that may exist there.
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 – Gravity Boots: Can you believe we’re in a forest?
Can You Believe We’re In A Forest is subtly disturbing and extremely funny, usually at the same time.
Review – Ladynerd
Both performers are hugely energetic and their clear enthusiasm is highly infectious, making for a captivating performance.
Review – Alasdair Tremblay-Birchall and Pat Burtscher
These performers have terrible names for comedy, but luckily they know how to make an audience laugh with a solid hour of straight stand up.
Review – An Audience With Tomás Ford
If you like the idea of being the personal playthings of a cabaret catastrophe, ladies and gentlemen, this is your show. You will cringe, you will squirm. Then you will laugh, get wet, fall in love, trip out, and leave the venue reborn
