Comedians are like wine, some never become enjoyable, no matter how long they have been aged, some have a very clear use by date after which they go down the drain and then there are those which age so well, better and better year by year. One of these well aging comedians is Akmal, even …

FRINGE – Tommy Little – A Fistful of Apologies – The Garden – Spare Room – 3K

He’s good looking, happy, confident and he makes you laugh. Have a few drinks before the show and you would leave a very happy vegemite (but not in the Kevin Rudd style.) 3K

FRINGE: Beer And Loathing – Rhino Room (Beer Garden) – 4.5K

From our quaint politicians and their ethical dilemmas to a general sh*t on the liver session about most things happening in this country, Brooks is the funny guy in the bar that draws a crowd that just wants to hang there hoping that his fun never finishes. 4.5K

FRINGE: Dead Cat Bounce – Excess at Gluttony – 4K

Their Caged Heat shows were terrific while their Bootlegs seemed just an excuse to jam, where little of their band’s personalities got a run. 4K

FRINGE – Comedy – Sexytime – Adelaide Town Hall – 3K
