Written by Dan Debuf, the original musical is a beautiful ode to the Western Australian urban legend himself.
All in Fringe
FRINGE REVIEW: Lisa Woodbrook’s “It’s Not Me, It’s Definitely You” is exceptional in every way
I still can’t decide whether I preferred her musical or comedic performance – both were done with absolute confidence, refined talent and the perfect level of humour, with this stellar combination never faltering for even a second.
FRINGE REVIEW: Bernie Dieter’s "Little Death Club" is dangerous, devilish debauchery
There’s a reason why Bernie Dieter is known as “the mistress of mayhem” and “queen of Fringe”. Little Death Club is what I’d describe as the love child of a mad genius and wicked seductress – fierce, ravenous and excited to push the boundaries of traditional cabaret.
FRINGE REVIEW: Rock out with Ragnarøkkr
St John Cowcher has a reputation as one of Perth's most artistically ambitious performers. Ragnarokk is the Norse prediction for the end of times.
FRINGE REVIEW: "The Lion Never Sleeps" celebrates queer history
This is a show about community and crisis. It invites us to bear witness to our queer elders and offers a blueprint for how to combat the crisis of the future – with love, anger and dancing.
FRINGE REVIEW: "Hot Sauce Burlesque" is Hot... But lacks variety and finesse
I'd describe Hot Sauce Burlesque as a cheeky intro for those who haven't attended burlesque before.
FRINGE REVIEW: "360 Allstars" is daring, urban circus
Their relaxed yet supercharged performance had the whole crowd going the whole time, with every new stunt executed with a humorous, laid back grin.
FRINGE REVIEW: YUMMY UNLEASHED is an absolute must-see
Without giving too much away, YUMMY UNLEASHED truly turns cabaret on its head and is the must-see show this season.
FRINGE REVIEW: Romance Isn't Dead in "Post-Mortem"
Post-Mortem is lovely - a moving exploration of a romance that was meant to be, without shying away from some very real issues.
FRINGE REVIEW: "Quokka Apocalypse" is fun, fantastic and slightly ferocious
Fun, fantastic and slightly ferocious, Quokka Apocalypse was a creative and not-so-subtle poke at the contemporary life we live in (not) the most isolated city in the world, Perth. And also, there were bubbles.
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: "Kafka's Ape" is intensely moving theatre
The show I’m raving about this year is Kafkas’ Ape.
FRINGE REVIEW: "The Choir of Man" will knock you off your feet
Self-described as "legitimately just nine guys who like to sing, drink and talk", The Choir of Man is an authentic, enjoyable show, filled with down to earth isms, plenty of banter and vocals that will knock you off your feet.
Fringe Review: "The Voice Behind The Stars" is cleverly written and winningly performed
The Voice Behind The Stars tells the story of Marni Nixon, the most prolific ‘ghost singer’ in movie history and reveals the truth behind some of the world’s most loved movie musicals.
FRINGE REVIEW: Velma Celli creates magic in ‘Equinox’
Backed by Joe Louis Robinson and Lucy Fraser, this intimate cabaret number is filled with sentimental ballads and showstopping musical theatre hits.
FRINGE REVIEW: "Tony Galati the Musical" is the king of spuds and our hearts
This musical hits all of the classic songs and arcs of your average light-hearted Disney romp, but it also manages to land some great self-aware dunks on the city we all live in.
Fringe Review: "Sad TV Man" is a hysterical and thoughtful homage to Australian commercial TV
Sad Mad Tv is an interesting showcase of our past. But it’s the character dynamics and interplay of its supporting cast that really make Sad TV Man a Fringe show worth your time.
FRINGE REVIEW: IMPROV PARADISO, A COOL & SMART SHOW
Running at the Blue Room Theatre between Feb 13 to Feb 16, Paradise! A Cool & Smart Show is one big laugh you cannot miss this Fringe Season.
