We spoke to the cast of the sell out show about The Process, snacks and Fringe itself ahead of their opening night in the closing week of this year’s festival.
All in Fringe
FRINGE REVIEW: "Velma Celli's: A Brief History Of Drag"
From start to finish, Velma Celli provides spine-tingling, tear-jerking, jaw-dropping vocals, perfectly paired with her incredible showmanship and razor sharp wit.
FRINGE REVIEW: DAD is both hilarious and deeply personal
Sweating through their overalls in the 37ºC heat, three of Perth’s emerging theatre-makers, Isaac Powell, Jarryd Prain and Marshall Stay explore the shifting nature of one’s relationships with their father, masculinity, connection and legacy in a hilarious and deeply personal experience.
FRINGE REVIEW: "Yummy Deluxe" will have you hungry for more
Are you ready for a high energy non-stop party celebrating all things femme and fabulous? Yummy Deluxe is the show for you. This incredible, award-winning ensemble of gorgeous humans will have you on the tip of your seat, hungry for more.
FRINGE REVIEW: "BOY ZONED" is nostalgic, toe-tapping fun
BOY ZONED takes you through the ups and downs of one band’s journey in trying to make some hits. If you’re into some light entertainment with some seriously talented performers this Fringe, then BOY ZONED is the show for you.
FRINGE REVIEW: "Dancing in the Driveway" is En Pointe
‘…Evelyn paints a picture of her childhood; of a girl growing and dancing. She deftly weaves metaphor through her stories and, before long, you feel as if you know her; as if you’ve grown up alongside her.’
FRINGE INTERVIEW: Theatre queen Charlotte Otton on her latest projects
Charlotte Otton is the emerging queen of Perth’s independent theatre scene. In 2018, she performed in Rorschach Beasts’ Hive Mind and developed the brilliant Let me finish., alongside being a regular performer with Perth improv stalwarts The Big Hoo-Haa.
Fringe Review: “Tröll” is worth crossing the bridge for
Tröll wastes no time with its brief 45-minute runtime, rolling punchline after punchline intercut with surprisingly effective atmospheric terror, akin to the nostalgic horror of a Goosebumps episode.
FRINGE REVIEW: Dali After Dark is here to blow your mind
Dali After Dark emerges from the warped mind of subversive burlesque artist Leah Shelton. It’s an immersive journey through the mind and works of Salvador and Gala Dali, and sympatico artists curated by the Burratti Gallery.
FRINGE REVIEW: Amos Gill hits the nail on the head with 'Almost Famos'
It’s a very specific brand of Australian humour that lets comedian Amos Gill shine, and has the crowd in knots with each punchline. In fact, it’s stand-up comedy that can only be described as ‘home-brand’.
FRINGE REVIEW: Fuego Carnal will set your soul on fire
Ignite the fire in you at Fuego Carnal, the place where passion begins.
FRINGE REVIEW: 'Melba' is witty, intimate, and honest
Melba, produced by Tempest Theatre, is a short theatrical piece that portrays one of Nellie Melba’s many final farewells - so many that the sarcastic expression ‘doing a Melba’ came to exist.
FRINGE REVIEW: "Adventures of the Improvised Sherlock Holmes" is Anything but Elementary
The Great Detective once said, ‘There is nothing new under the sun. It has all been done before.’ But this show sets out to prove him wrong…
FRINGE REVIEW: "Improv D&D"? Yeah, that's a Hit.
Orcs, object work and overly-elaborate character names combine for some truly entertaining comedy…
FRINGE REVIEW: Boys Taste Better with Nutella is a Real Treat
A show that deals with relationships, loneliness and belonging could so easily become a downer but this one tackles it with wonderfully witty writing and hilariously cheesy dance moves.
FRINGE REVIEW: "How to Win Loot and Influence Dragons" is D&D for the Masses
Dungeons and Dragons isn’t an easy sell for a fringe audience, but this show tiptoes the line between niche and mass appeal.
Ciaran Lyons Delivers Quality Comedy That We All Came For
It’s safe to say that everyone in the room was belly laughing during Ciaran Lyons’ stand up show. Delivering relatable Perth humour and stories that made the crowd hoot with laughter, his laid back style of presentation created an atmosphere of good vibes all round.
FRINGE REVIEW: "Icarus" soars high, but not too close to the sun
Irish-born performance artist Christopher Samuel Carroll delivers a captivating solo performance incorporating audio cues, mime and expression to deliver a tale of hope, spirit, courage and man’s struggle in the face of war and conflict.
FRINGE REVIEW: Lysistrata is admirable in concept, messy in execution
Lysistrata is a comedy written by Aristophanes in 411 BC. However, it is disappointing that the effort to create connections between the source material and the feminist movement remains surface-level throughout this update.
FRINGE REVIEW: The Complete Craziness of Club Briefs
If you’re chasing an evening to sit back, relax and enjoy the show, Club Briefs isn’t for you.
