From television's Penn & Teller: Fool Us, to the Melbourne Comedy Festival, Dom is the don for comedy magic.
This production reminds us that Jesus was an immigrant, a refugee and was persecuted for no other good reason. A modern parable of his story sees someone like Judas, but is this case called Youssef, being questioned and tortured to reveal the whereabouts of their leader, a preacher from the desert speaking of peace, forgiveness and love.
Most of us have come into touch with breast cancer through family and friends; we feel awkward when confronted with the stories, mostly because we don’t know how to react.
To many of us Bin Laden is a mystery figure. Demonised by the press and often painted as pure evil. If you have ever thought about the subject you may have concluded that he must have been at least charismatic to inspire so many followers, but his motives are not clear to us.
A solo performer on the bare stage, with nothing but a chair and a nebulous backdrop, conjures up a story so real that you can feel with her. Martha Lott gives an incredible performance as a successful fighter pilot whose world spins out of control.
Stephen Valeri masquerading as Johnny Farnham masquerading as Stephen Valeri is a really entertaining hour in the presence of this very vocally talented young man and his equally musically adept co-contributors Kelli-Anne Kimber on keyboards/vocals and Caleb Garfinkel on Guitar/vocals.
Nazeem Hussain’s star is on the rise and you know why? This man embodies comic genius.
As we walk into the Odeon Theatre, performer Tiago Rodrigues is already on stage. A simple, white floor, has been dressed with eleven chairs, on one of which sits Rodrigues, reading a book. At his feet are some rustic, wooden, fruit crates, filled with old books.
Alongside her hugely successful Squeeze My Cans, theatrical polymath Cathy Schenkelberg is premiering her new show, Squeeze My Cabaret, at this year’s Fringe. It is a blatant fun-poke at the silliness of a so-called “religion” founded by a science-fiction writer.
JooYung Roberts is an emerging Adelaide-based comedian slowly expanding into the comedy world. His current show The Ballad of JooYung Roberts is a fresh piece of work currently on at Ancient World as part of the Adelaide Fringe.
What lies behind the mask of a hero? In the vernacular of social media, “it’s complicated”.
Step back to the roaring twenties and enjoy the silliness that sees Ruby, an American heiress, and Hester, an East-End social climber, get together with a piano and a fair amount of booze. The two ladies are accompanied by a pianist who we are led to believe doesn’t speak English, leading to some comic exchanges.
The main thrust of the evening seems to be to tell the story of the Jacobite’s rebellion in Scotland.
There is nothing that compares to the sound of a male voice choir singing a Capella. The language doesn’t really matter, the harmonies and the resonance are superb if the choir is any good, and this choir is not just good!
The crew behind Gravity and Other Myths spent time in France perfecting their newest show, which focuses on the creation of life from the smallest beginnings.
Set in a locker room two men appear to be exercising, doing what may be a daily routine.
We enter the ecclesiastical gloom of the Bonython Hall. Dim blue lights glow from the far-off stage. As is only proper, the choir processes into the venue. We hear them behind us, singing a segment of the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah, as they make their way to the stage. They sound great, although the words seem unfamiliar. Banners, carried by two children, proclaim “Stop Shopping: Earthalujah!”
Opening with the Four Seasons classic Oh What a Night, the Boys in the Band let the audience know what they were in for!
Aboard the Airship Adelaide, murder is afoot and the race is on to see who can solve the crime.
The silent disco goes mobile as participants sing and dance along Rundle Mall, but only they can hear the music!
