Review: Man or Bear, Fringe 2026

August 13, 2026 by Bronwen Winter Phoenix Leave a Comment

A darkly devastating and powerful play unveiling the different faces of violence and abuse women face on a continual daily basis, with themes of resilience, abuse, survival and solidarity. Very relatable. A gut punch to watch, but also important.

A review of Tim Biglowe: Plonka, Fringe 2026

August 13, 2026 by Guest Reviewer 1 Comment

A wonderfully unassuming comedian with excellent timing, relatable material and a rare ability to make an audience feel part of the show. Plonka is a fantastic Fringe discovery, and one I’d strongly recommend catching now before Tim Biglowe moves on to bigger venues.

Review: An A to Z Guide to Dating, Fringe 2026

A funny, original, cleverly executed one-woman musical comedy based on the advice given in Feast at the Famine, the book written by Grace O’Keefe’s mother.

Review: Heist – How to Steal a Masterpiece, Fringe 2026

August 13, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Hours after leaving the Speakeasy at the Voodoo Rooms, you will still be trying to work out how Chris Cook pulled off his impossible tricks in Heist: How to Steal a Masterpiece. A mind-bogglingly impressive show.

Review: SUCCUBUS, Fringe 2026

August 13, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Blood, satire, and flawless stagecraft collide in SUCCUBUS at Underbelly Dexter. Georgina Collins crafts a sharp coming-of-rage tale that bites back at everyday misogyny with expert comic timing.

Review: Possessive! The Musical!, Fringe 2026

August 13, 2026 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

Suburban exorcism meets pop punk comedy in Possessive! The Musical. St Vincent’s basement venue provides the perfect backdrop for this sharp, energetic 4 star Fringe treat. Brilliant vocal work and clever staging throughout.

Review: Liberace and Liza – A Tribute, Fringe 2026

August 12, 2026 by Guest Reviewer 1 Comment

Forget looking camp directly in the eye, Liberace and Liza takes camp by the hand and brings in home to meet Mother in Palm Springs. A spectacle of glitter, friendship and sass with songs old and new, there is truly something for everyone within the show- a definite DO NOT MISS for Fringe season 2026.
