Paris de Nuit

Ben's review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 This is far more than the posters advertise, there is a real art form amongst the high flying act. The variety of skills on show is so awe-inspiring and the burlesque feel to the show work so well together. There is nothing bad that I can say for such a skilled cast.

Ps there is plenty of eye candy for the ladies as well.

The girlfriend's review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Sexy, sassy, acrobatics sums up this show for me. A great way to end an evening watching this talented cast effortlessly tight rope walk, trapeze and like dance whilst someone looking incredibly sexy.

I'm still in awe of the person that did a tightrope walk in heels and the another for their backhandspring also in heels!

Review: Courtney Act: The Girl from Oz

When: 18th-20th, 22nd-26th August at 6pm Where: Underbelly's Circus hub on the Meadows (Venue 360) Additional performance: August 22nd at 23:45, Underbelly George Square (Venue 300) Ben's review: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 This was a much better performance than I was expecting. The songs were on point and her jokes were very funny, if you've watched RuPauls Drag Race. That show has made such drag acts accessible to the public and you can really see the benefit in Courteneys show. If you haven't watched drag race then certain bits might go over your head but you'll still be able to enjoy the incredible vocal range and her on stage antics. The Girlfriend's review: 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 This woman's vocal range is absolutely incredible! She hit some beautiful notes as she took us through a wide range of music from Australian performers, my personal  favourite song was her unique take on the Bee Gees 'Staying Alive'. Vocal talents aside she looked incredible, w

Unmeetables

Ben's review: ⭐⭐⭐  There's quite a moral story behind this and it is really well acted by this one man act. Questions are posed and I'd love to see an extra half hour audience feedback session after this because you could get some great ideas.   On the negative side there is quite a lot of black space between scenes, and the final cut is ever so slightly over played. But given what was available to him he has done a great job.  Ps. Making clothes out of recycled plastic is a real thing now and is being done fantastically well, the great work of that does not need to be subverted. The girlfriend's review: ⭐⭐⭐ This is a really strong one-person show. Representing how people in authority don't always understand the problems they are tackling. The performance and script was strong. Unfortunately, they were several long pauses whilst the actor changed off stage. This takes you out of the action, it would help to fill the silence with music/voiceovers/vide

Showstopper! The Improvised Musical

Ben's review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  The first standing ovation of the fringe, they are all so fabulously talented and could tell you a story out of anything. The compère joins in too trying to catch out the act, which is my favourite part of improv. I would watch this again and again. The girlfriend's review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This troop are so slick and polished that you almost forget that it is improvised. The cast work together so well, joking together and trying to catch one another out. Having a compère for the show really helps to keep things on track and him being able to intervene really helps with the madness. If you are going to see one piece of improv at the Fringe, it should be this one!
