Loosely themed but expertly executed, Hills shows that affability is not barrier to laughs

Andrew Maxwell: The Bare Maximum
A show rich in story-telling from a master of the art.

Mike Rice: Work in Progress
Irish comedian develops a new hour full of dark jokes, absurd break-up stories and silly asides

Titi Lee: Good Girl Gone Baddie
American-Asian comedian and drag performer fuses art forms in a comedic storytelling hour reckoning their identity and grief

Stiff
Innuendo-packed comedy delivers plenty of laughs, but a troubling theme


Hannah Gadsby: Woof!
New self-reflective show sprinkled with callbacks and brilliantly worded jokes

Pirates: You Wouldn’t Steal a Boat
Fantastically silly adventure on the high seas, the quality of the comedy, writing and acting is a joy to behold

Rhys Nicholson: Huge Big Party Congratulations!
Australian comic Nicholson returns to Fringe with an enchanting and uproarious hour about their life after marriage

Alex Franklin: Gurl Code
Alex Franklin: Gurl Code is a deeply affecting and incredibly funny hour of delightfully scattershot comedy that sees Franklin unleash herself on an avid crowd.
