More than just a comedy act, Bob Slayer took us on an unorthodox, improv journey into his outrageous psyche.

The punters did well to […]

You might know Barry Morgan, Adelaide’s celebrity organ salesman, from his appearances on the music quiz show Spicks and Specks. Barry’s trademark toothy grin and his prodigious skill on the keyboard were all he needed to win over television audiences. So, when it was announced that Barry Morgan would be coming to Fringe World, I […]
Continue ReadingBarefaced Is The Perfect Party
Attending Barefaced Stories at the Blue Room Theatre in Perth is like going to the perfect dinner party. Everyone is sufficiently warmed up from a beery sunset in the Urban Orchard, there are familiar faces and total strangers, and the conversation overflows with witty, relatable, and occasionally kooky anecdotes. It was an international affair – […]

Bogan Bingo is, quite simply, a bingo night run by bogans. If you’ve ever thought that bingo nights don’t include enough AC/DC and swearing, then you might want to get down to Rosie O’Grady’s during Fringe. Just make sure to check your political correctness at the door, because these bogans aim to offend. The flannel-clad […]

What happens to someone when they go missing? What if they are happy to disappear and at what point do they decide to return or to run further away?

Continue ReadingFoul, bad, yellow things
In the evening, the Treasury Mess Hall becomes a trove – a dewy oasis with a backyard vibe, wedged deep between old brick buildings. It’s a real treat: merpeople swim in a moonlit tank, while the sounds of Serge Gainsbourg and Prince echo over grass that seems strangely lacking in plastic flamingoes. Suitably, the creaking […]
