FRINGE 2019: Dolly Diamond’s Blankety Blanks – 3K – Gluttony
Dolly Diamond is your host as you enter the May Wirth in Gluttony and prepare to play – or, to watch others play – Blankety Blanks. That is the basic premise of the show, but throw in a panel of Fringe celebrity judges (artists, staff, venue managers, etc.) and a couple of unsuspecting audience members …

FRINGE 2019 – The Choir of Man – 4.5K – Gluttony
There’s no doubt about it – The Choir of Man is a Fringe favourite around the world for a good reason. This is a polished production, one that has dotted the ‘i’s and crossed the ‘t’s. It knows itself – particularly its strengths – inside and out. It’s well practiced, with high production value. In …

FRINGE 2019 – Yummy Deluxe – 4.5K – The Garden of Unearthly Delights
Yummy took the Adelaide Fringe by storm in 2018 and now they’re back with a bigger and better show than before. Yummy Deluxe brings back most of your Yummy favourites (Karen from Finance, the much-loved MC from last year, was unfortunately missing) for a night of fun and frivolity. Some numbers were more bizzare than …

FRINGE 2019: James Donald Forbes McCann: Devil’s Advocate – 5K – Rhino Room
James Donald Forbes McCann is here to defend indefensible statements. When you enter the Rhino Room, you’re asked to write down a statement that not a single person can defend. Maybe even the worst thing you can think of. You put it in the bucket, take your seat, and out comes James. One by one …

FRINGE 2019 – Bernie Dieter’s Little Death Club – 4.5K – Gluttony
Step inside the Little Death Club and you’ll see some sights you won’t forget in a hurry – and that’s not a bad thing! Bernie Dieter is your host as you step inside this one-of-a-kind cabaret club, full of nudity, naked mole rats, and a whole lot of talent. From the always-fantastic Gingzilla, to the …

FRINGE 2019 – Comfort Food Cabaret – 5K – Adelaide Central Market
Chanteuse and cook Michelle Pearson has built up her Comfort Food Cabaret over three years of touring to become the fantastically fun show it is now. Set in the Adelaide Central Market, you find yourself greeted with someone requesting any dietary requirements (rather unusual for a Fringe show!), some delicious local produce, and a set …

FRINGE 2019 – Fringe Wives Club: Glittergrass – 4K – Gluttony
The incredibly talented Fringe Wives Club have taken the past two Adelaide Fringe festivals by storm with their first show, Glittery Clittery (also playing at this year’s Fringe, and worth a look). Now they’re back with their second show, Glittergrass, and with two new Fringe Wives to boot. A self-professed “feminist hootanany”, Glittergrass is a country music extravaganza …

FRINGE 2019 – Garry Starr Conquers Troy – 4K – Gluttony (Masonic Hall)
Garry Starr completely exceeded all my expectations when I saw his last show, Garry Starr Performs Everything, at last year’s Fringe – he was a truly unique comedian and an intelligent one to boot. Garry Starr Conquers Troy takes the classics and reworks them for the “low-brow” (modern) audiences. Garry Star – skilled actor, or “skactor” – …
