Review – The Unstoppable, Unsung Story of Shaky M
The ‘M’ seems to be for mime in this non-verbal show.

Review – Marcel Lucont’s Cabaret Fantastique
Marcel Lucont masks his comedic material via a French caricature. It’s like watching Gabriel Gaté not cook anything.
Review – Marcel Lucont’s Gallic Symbol
When Marcel Lucont staggers on stage sneering arrogantly from above his turtle neck sweater, clutching a glass of wine and fresh from a Ménage à trois with two beautiful women, he seems instantly familiar.
Review – Choir Girl
Choir Girl is intriguing. It begins with Susan sitting and singing her choir audition song. As the show proceeds we hear singing and suddenly we became aware that what we took for recorded underscoring was actually a choir.
Review – Love in the Key of Britpop
This was absolutely nothing like I expected and the surprise was a great one. I absolutely love the writing of this piece.
Review – Radiohead Redux
The danger of basing a comedy show around pop culture, and Willis appeared well aware of this, is that English references may not translate to Australian audiences.

Party for A Living – Kirsten Law
An amusing satirical take on the health, beauty and “wellness” industries, this is not a stand up act, it is an entire performance! Complete with a plethora of interactive characters as well as powerpoint presentations and visual aids (such as rocks that are hand sourced by underweight Javanese orphans, available to purchase – of course!).
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.
10 Quick Qs – Mercedes Benz Awkwardly
Funny, sad, awkward and heartfelt. @BridgetJones meets @Juno. #nakedandfunny
10 Quick Qs – Live on Air with Poet Laureate Telia Nevile
A word-obsessed poet broadcasts a pirate radio show from her bedroom. Love, language, grammar Grindcore and erotic slash fiction.
