Minnellium, Fringe World Perth 2016

No Comments 12 February 2016

Telling stories from her life up to thirty, Alana Minnelli delivers a raucous hour of anecdotal comedy that grapples with an eternal question: "Did you ever meet anyone you liked better than yourself?" Weaving Perth-specific humour with a Brooklyn bite and a healthy dose of self-love, Minnelli proves that honest comedy can only come from experience. Jaymes Durante reviews.

Interview with Alexis Dubus, Fringe World Perth 2016

Fr3e, Fringe World Perth 2016

No Comments 11 February 2016

Fr3e — an allegory of freedom and mental illness — reels you in with an unsettling vibe that’s truly fascinating to experience. Unfortunately, its performers can't burst through the heat and some undesirable sound issues to make the play work. Interesting premise, but a rather dull delivery. Jessica Clausen reviews.
