A choir of angels found in the depths of saucy cabaret – that pretty much sums up Boon-esque, a show that straddles the line between romance and satire. The show is dedicated to the romance novels of Mills and Boon, taking the audience through every iteration of the genre; the show features scenes from historical […]

There’s a certain joy in watching personalities clash with one another on stage – yet that joy is somewhat nullified when you can identify with the victims of the theatrical parody. Picking up on the idea that parental relationships can be just as tumultuous as those of children, God of Carnage is a clever – but […]
Continue ReadingBody Obscure Object
Body Obscure Object certainly lived up to its title. Choreographer Shian Law won the Fringe Festival’s Best Dance award last year for his debut performance Proximate Edifice. Law and his fellow performers are all acclaimed graduates of the VCA School of Dance. Body Obscure Object was inspired in part by Brian De Palma’s 1969 film recording […]

The persistence of Ruth Wilkin has to be admired. Her dad has long since stopped pretending to be interested in her newest musical compositions and her mother nags her to be more like her academic sister, but Ruth will have none of it. She has a dream, the only dream worth having: to be a […]

At least two hours of silence with more than twenty strangers you have never met. A three-course vegan dinner in a private residence. No technological gizmos permitted. As a meat-eater with a penchant for talking and a fear of silent moments lasting more than two seconds lest they be deemed ‘awkward’, Honi Ryan’s Silent Dinner Party […]

I can identify with Sam Marzden. He has, much like myself, read too many rock star biographies, and has amassed a wealth of knowledge about the genre’s decadent history, fluids and all. Unlike me, however, Marzden has decided to do something productive with his knowledge, condensing it into a one-hour narrative dubbed The History of […]

Shuffle your stool closer and prop up your elbows: this is one barman you need to keep your eye on. From the Lounge Bar at St. Kilda’s tiny Felix Bar, Bar Studies 101 explores the science, history and psychology behind Australia’s favourite past-time in hilarious fashion. Toeing the line between comedy and science is […]

Awkwardness is evidently the new funny. I never thought this was possible, given the seemingly polar relationship between social discomfort and humour – but when you find yourself cracking up over a nonsensical joke about dentists, featuring puns not even your dad would dare make, you know the times are changing. Lessons with Luis represents […]
Continue ReadingKnock Off
The award-winning Three High Acrobatics bring us their show Knock Off, a high-energy, hilarious contemporary circus act following three tradies on an ‘average’ work day. Donning fluro wife-beaters, the three tradies convert a work-site into a place for circus tricks and slap-stick comedy. Hammers are juggled, ladders are dived through and fighting between the blokes […]

Online dating doesn’t have the stigma associated with it that it once had, but what if rather than meeting your partner on eHarmony, you met them on Facebook? And what if you’re only just about to meet them in person for the first time, five months after you started Skyping, and you’re flying across the […]
