Review: High Heels from the Big Boot, Fringe 2026

August 16, 2026 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

A playful comedy about women reclaiming the messy, inconvenient parts of themselves that history and family memory tend to erase.

Review: Bleep Bleep! – Fringe 2026

August 16, 2026 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

A playful, imaginative slice of children’s theatre built entirely on movement, visual storytelling and handcrafted sound. Instead of dialogue, the performers rely on sharp physical comedy and expressive character work to guide the audience through a simple but engaging storyline. The robot’s lifelike behaviour becomes the centrepiece of the show, creating a sense of wonder that pulls children in immediately.

Review: Mario the Maker Magician, Fringe 2026

August 16, 2026 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

A brilliantly energetic, funny, engaging and interactive magic show – not to mention fun for the entire family. Highly recommend!

A review of Alfie Brown: The Entertainer, Fringe 2026

August 16, 2026 by Guest Reviewer Leave a Comment

A smart, funny and well-crafted hour from Alfie Brown, with plenty of laughs, excellent storytelling and an ending you really shouldn’t spoil for yourself.

Review: Woody Sez, Fringe 2026

August 16, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

From Dust Bowl ballads to Merchant Marine anthems, Woody Sez at Underbelly Cowbarn is an exceptional celebration of Woody Guthrie packed with stunning four-part harmonies and live folk music.

Review: The Woman in the Mirror, Fringe 2026

August 16, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

An intimate, deeply moving two-woman play about dementia and caregiver strain. Dayna Steele and Rebecca McWilliams deliver real emotional power at ZOO Southside.

Review: The Trials of Magnus Coffinkey, Fringe 2026

August 15, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

The Trials of Magnus Coffinkey is a deeply devastating show about using storytelling as a mechanism to process grief and loss. Bring tissues, I was a mess. Unforgettable performances, and a powerful show.

Review: Big Naked Variety Show, Fringe 2026

August 15, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

A highly entertaining variety show where all the acts appear naked and do their thing, with comedy, circus, magic and “the best thing ever”. You’ll laugh, you’ll cheer, you’ll be shocked, and most importantly, you’ll probably leave feeling like you’ve seen enough naked people for the day. Probably.
