Ensuring you are respected is essential to keeping your position as a redoubtable and feared crime boss. Accordingly, it can be considered necessary for promise-breakers to be reminded of their obligations, traditionally with something of theirs broken in turn. It is for circumstances such as these that standover men exist. Pope, the titular standover man […]
Continue ReadingColin Ebsworth: Western Devil
Western Devil is a show with earnest good intentions, but is served alongside an unfortunate superiority complex. A little like our colonising forefathers, Colin Ebsworth’s ideas have a tendency to come across as aggressive. Less like our colonising forefathers, he has the potential to develop into a popular Australian comedian. He inspects Western culture through […]

An assortment of life experiences and music styles tied together at the world premiere of Bows Don't Go on Friday February 1.

It has become something of a fashion to refer to artists who are not poets as being poets of their respective mediums. Often this is an ill-informed description simply comes from the artist in question producing non-narrative work. Maya Deren is not of this category, she is a mid-twentieth century filmmaker who utilised the medium […]

After working the comedy circuits hard since 2008, Alan Sharp comes to Perth with his new show Careful What You Wish For.

After seeing their show, I must say that I am very surprised by this. The performance began with Melissa Logan […]
Continue ReadingReggae in Hell
Here’s your opportunity to discover whether or not you’re conventional. This is not layman’s comedy, Nick Sun warns, and “no boring conventional people need come.” Even if you don’t see reality as already a little distorted, Reggae in Hell will take your hand and show you the way over a scraggy mountain pass of freewheeling […]

There is no muckin’ around with Movin’ Melvin Brown. His workshop, Tap Into Health, starts with a brief tap performance by the man himself and before you can think ‘That looks too hard, I’m leaving’, he has you tapping away, working up a sweat, clickity click. Melvin starts off simple with The Walk and soon […]
Continue ReadingMarcel Lucont – Gallic Symbol
With more inflammatory wit and congested phlegm than Serge Gainsbourg in Lemon Incest, Perth’s favourite chain-smoking philanderer Marcel Lucont returns to Fringe this year. Gallic Symbol is side-splitting snobbery with all the Anglophobic trimmings that we have come to expect of a night with Lucont. The audience is dragged further into the pit of purposeful […]

Beneath the big top of the Lunar Circus a number of children gathered around the ring eagerly awaiting the beginning of the Kids Comedy Gala. When the festival director, “Fat Matt” Yates stepped out from behind the curtain they all began cheering loudly, no longer able to contain their excitement. Opening with a juggling act […]
