Danny Bhoy – Adelaide Fringe Review – 5 Stars
It’s a hot Saturday evening and we’re in the Urban Cow Art Gallery at the back of the Howling Owl Gin Bar, just off Rundle Street. Danny Bhoy starts out by mentioning how hot it is, at 36 degrees. Then lets us know that when he has said this to Adelaidians, the response he gets is, “You think this is hot? This is nothing. Laaarrrst month – laaaaaaaaarst month, it was fuckin’ 48 degrees mate”. And right away you’re laughing. He’s...

So what goes into a 5 star rated show for me? Well it has to grab...
Charlie Caper & Malin Nilsson: Minor Miracles – Adelaide Fringe Review – 5 stars

Glitter could be considered a gimmick or an easy prop, but not in Malin Nilsson’s hands. Far from it. Her comic timing and strategic sharing of glitter magic was glue binding the show. Together with Charlie Caper’s disappearing and reappearing bowtie, the recurring jokes were fresh and delightful as well as...
Wet Sounds – Adelaide Fringe Review – 4 stars
Most definitely the most unusual Fringe performance I have ever seen. However, I didn’t see it as such, I was part of it. Fully immersed. And wet. Wet Sounds transformed the Adelaide Aquatic Centre deep diving pool into an art space through a deep listening experience. Audience members were participants by floating or diving in the water to hear originally composed music. Sound travels four times faster in water than it does in the...
