Reviews
Owen Roberts: I Let a Six-Year-Old Write My Show
Charming exploration of the peculiar comic brilliance of a young child’s mind.
Schalk Bezuidenhout: Leopard Print
South African comedian’s jokes are a little lost in translation until the latter part of his set.
John Hastings: Float Like a Butterfly, John Hastings Like a Bee
Wry, intelligent observations camouflaged amongst a flurry of crude comedy.
Christopher Macarthur-Boyd: Home Sweet Home
As assured and as funny an hour as you will see from a young comic who is sure to become a household name.
Felicity Ward: Busting a Nut
Ward doesn’t falter in a family-themed hour of comedy
Rachel Fairburn: The Wolf at the Door
A dark feathered phoenix rising from the ashes of lost relationships, Fairburn is honest, emotional and hilarious.
Liam Withnail: Homeboy
Gradually engaging show that makes interesting points about white male privilege
Rob Rouse: Are You Sitting Comfortably?
“As funny as a prostate exam” now means something different
Anuvab Pal: Empire
Mild-mannered exploration of British colonialism is consistent but falls short of hilarious.
Siblings: Acting Out
Absurdist sketch comedy from real-life sisters is undeniably funny if a little self-indulgent at times.
Tom Houghton: The Honourable
Tom Houghton explores the ups and (occasional) downs of being ridiculously rich and sometimes honourable
Frankie Boyle – Prometheus Volume III
Typically virulent set from the Scottish bad boy of comedy.
Natalie Palamides: Nate
Last year’s Best Newcomer makes a thought-provoking and triumphant return to the Fringe
David Correos: The Correos Effect
New Zealand comic Correos delivers an odd but strangely compelling solo debut at the Fringe
Eleanor Tiernan: Success Without A Sex Tape
The single life of an Irishwoman makes for an easy, enjoyable hour.
Putting On The Blitz
Well-pitched bad taste character comedy. Just don’t expect to see them on TV any time soon.
