- By Julie Robins in Cabaret, Comedy, Dance, Music, Performing Art, Theatre, Uncategorized
As we eagerly await the show, the lights go up to reveal an invisible quartet, which when made visible, is comprised of merely three performers.

- By Julie Robins in Cabaret, Performing Art, Theatre
Dickie Beau : Unplugged : photos by Claudio Raschella ‘Unplugged’ begins with an upbeat vaudevillian cabaret performance in which Dickie Beau channels the actor Kenneth Williams via brilliant lip-sync and physical performance.

- By Julie Robins in Cabaret, Comedy, Fringe 2019, Performing Art
We are all going to die. So we might as well go out dancing to a disco beat, with this talented and charismatic (probably human) duo as our guides. Bourgeois and Maurice, the upbeat dancer and the downbeat pianist, tell us that they are workshopping their next show and trying it out on us here …

- By Julie Robins in Cabaret, Circus, Fringe 2019, Music, Uncategorized
Bursting onto the stage in a profusion of sound and colour Rebel the show is a high energy performance from beginning to end and carries the smiling rocking audience along with it.

Fringe 2019 – Anya Anastasia : The Executioners – 5K
A highly entertaining performance full of subtle satire and cutting wit. Self-appointed superhero Anastasia opens her show via live facetime, thus setting the scene for what is to follow. Accompanied by her very talented ‘au pair’ Gareth Chin she takes us on a rollicking ride where she rails against lightweight activism. Clever song writing and …
