FRINGE REVIEW: "6056" is tasteless bogan humour... just the way we like it
Not for the easily offended, Cameron McLaren's 6056 is tasteless bogan humour... Just the way we like it. The constant self deprecating jokes centred around the lower echelon of society were truly nothing but relatable.

Fringe Review: "Sudden Skies" is a poignant piece of work
With a mastery of body and voice, highlighted by Biagioni's electric singing, Sudden Skies displays the power within a person to defy, and in turn to surrender. The innovative use of movement and intense vocal choices makes for a performance like no other this Fringe season.

Fringe Review: "Star-Crossed Poetry" Explores the Rawness of Love

Fringe Review: "Above the Mealy-Mouthed Sea" is a One-Woman Hit
A visceral and rollercoaster-esque experience, this show will grab you by your memory and pull you down the rabbit-hole. It asks you to become all ears for just an hour; sit forward, and listen up.
FRINGE REVIEW: Lucidity Offers an Intriguing Look on Reality
Lucidity, and the phenomenon of lucid dreaming it explores, is such a fascinating concept. The human endeavour to control the conventionally uncontrollable is examined to a T through the topic, as well as grief, moving forward, responsibility and, ultimately, the essence of love.
FRINGE REVIEW: Matt Tarrant - Honestly Dishonest
Tarrant’s ability to impart pure childlike wonder — irrespective of the audience’s varying ages — is nothing short of miraculous. I wasn’t expecting outbursts of laughter throughout, but quickly found that such zealous magic teamed with a delectable sense of humour only made for a winning show. From unconventional card tricks and humble stunts, to logic-defying predictions, Matt Tarrant had read our minds and left us questioning one too many things.

FRINGE REVIEW: #ObjectifyNeel
It's always a pleasure to have Neel return each year for the annual Fringe World Festival, but 2017's debut of his new stand up show #ObjectifyNeel deems Perth lucky indeed.
FRINGE REVIEW: Ben Darsow Off The Cuff
As its title suggests, the majority of the show is completely improvised, relying solely on punter interaction to drive the show forward. It’s this kind of acrobat-on-a-tightrope type comedy show that makes proceedings all the more thrilling to watch.
